Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ cup Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic peeled, chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 4 Eggs hard-boiled
  • ½ pound Bacon
  • 1 head Frisée
  • ½ head Radicchio

Instructions
 

  • Fry the bacon until crispy; then set on paper towel to drain.
  • While the bacon is frying, hard-boil the eggs. When they're done, soak them in cold water for a few minutes to make them cool enough to handle safely, then peel the eggs and chop the eggs coarsely.
  • Whiz in a blender all the ingredients from the Red Wine Vinegar down to and including the ground pepper. Set this dressing aside.
  • Wash the frisée; core it and discard the core; set leaves aside to drain (or whiz in salad spinner.)
  • Wash the radicchio; chop or tear it into bite-size pieces; set aside.
  • Reserving a handful of the frisée, arrange the rest of it on a platter. Scatter over it the chopped egg and the radicchio, then crumble over it the bacon. Garnish with the reserved frisée.
  • At this point, you could if you wanted cover with cling-film and put in the fridge for up to a day.
  • In any event, when you go to serve, drizzle the dressing that you made over it all.
