Mozzarella & pickled radicchio

I have adapted this recipe from my mate James Ferguson. He used to cook it at the Towpath Cafe on London’s Regent’s Canal, where he served the mozzarella with some lovely pickled radicchio and pangrattato breadcrumbs, and it was delicious. You had the gentle softness of the cheese and the silkiness of the radicchio with a lovely toasty crunch on top. For this recipe I would always pick a buffalo mozzarella over a burrata.
