To prepare the dressing: In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic cloves and anchovy into a paste. Alternatively, make the paste by finely chopping the garlic first, then adding the anchovy and using the flat side of the knife blade to mash the mixture into a smooth paste.
To a medium bowl, add the garlic and anchovy paste and whisk together with the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and red wine vinegar. While whisking quickly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until completely incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Cut the kale or lettuce crosswise into thin ribbons and transfer to a large mixing bowl; add the radicchio. Toss the greens with enough vinaigrette to generously coat.
Divide between salad plates and top with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano; serve with lemon wedges.
