  It's no wonder grilled vegetables have become so popular--the flavor
  is incredible. Fennel and radicchio might be considered two unusual
  choices for the grill, but they are commonly grilled Italy--a country
  where cooks know how to coax the most flavor out of their
  ingredients. If you don't have a grill, use the broiler instead.
  
  If using a gas or electric grill or broiler, preheat it until it is
  hot, about 500°F. If using charcoal, let the fire burn until the
  coals are hot and covered with white ash. You will want to cook your
  vegetables about 4" from the heat source.
  
  Cut the fennel into wedges, toss with enough olive oil to coat, and
  grill on both sides until soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes
  per side.
  
  Meanwhile, cut the radicchio heads into quarters, cutting through the
  root end, and place them in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes.
  
  Coat the radicchio with olive oil and place to the grill, turning
  frequently and brushing with more oil, if necessary. Watch carefully
  to be sure it does not burn. Grill until soft and browned, about
       10    minutes total.
  
  Serve the fennel and raddichio hot, sprinkled with salt and pepper to
  taste and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Garnish with chopped
  herbs and serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
