Braised endive

A recent discovery. Incredibly delicious. Savoury, sweet, with a slightly bitter edge

  • 2 heads endive/chicory
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 100 ml chicken stock
  • Balsamic vinegar
  1. Split the endive lengthways in half
  2. In a pan big enough to hold them in a single layer, melt the butter over a medium heat
  3. Fry the endives flat-side down until light brown
  4. Turn them over, add the chicken stock and a splash of balsamic, and season
  5. Bring to a boil, then cover, turn the heat down and simmer for 15 mins
  6. Take the lid off, turn them over and turn the heat up for a final 5 mins

A perfect accompaniment to grilled meat or halloumi
