Braised endives with orange is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to make. The combination of the slightly bitter endives, the sweet oranges, and the rich braising liquid creates a dish that is both complex and satisfying. This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is a great way to use up leftover endives. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy and delicious option for any meal.

BRAISED ENDIVE WITH ORANGE

Steps:
- Combine stock, orange juice, liqueur, salt, and pepper in a large, shallow, nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil, and add endive. Cover endive with cheesecloth to keep it submerged, reduce heat to medium low, and cover; simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer endive to a plate, and cover with cheesecloth to keep warm. Continue simmering liquid until syrupy and slightly thick, about 20 minutes.
- Slice heads of endive in half lengthwise; add to syrup. Add orange slices, and toss to coat. Toss again, and serve.

Steps:
- Grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from orange, then squeeze juice. Set aside.
- Cut out a round of parchment paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet and butter one side of parchment.
- Trim end of each endive and halve lengthwise. Arrange, cut sides down, in 1 layer in 12-inch skillet. Add broth, zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits. Cover endives with parchment, buttered side down. Simmer until tender and liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat broiler.
- While endives braise, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir together with bread crumbs, five-spice powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add cream to endives and cook, uncovered, over medium heat, swirling, until thickened, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon orange juice. Arrange endives cut sides up with sauce in a lightly buttered 1 1/2- to 2-quarts shallow baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with crumbs and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
ENDIVES WITH ORANGES
Steps:
- Halve the endives lengthwise. Melt the butter, sugar, and vinegar to caramel in a large saute pan, and then add the wine. Lay in the endive, cut side down. Season the endive with salt, and pepper, cover the pan with foil, and cook over medium-low heat, turning a few times, until very tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- While the endive cooks, cut the skin off the oranges with a knife, to expose the flesh, then remove the sections, holding the oranges over a bowl to catch the juices. Add the juices to the endive, but reserve the sections until the very end.
- When the endives are soft, uncover the pan, and continue cooking, turning the endives occasionally, to reduce the liquid to a glaze and caramelize the endives. At the last minute, add the orange sections to heat through, and serve.
BRAISED ENDIVES
Endives have a couple of things going for them: they're grown inside (mostly in the dark, so they stay white), so they're fresh all year round; they have great form and nice crunchy texture; they are unusually bitter, but in a pleasant way. Cooked-especially with good stock-they are elegant and delicious. Other vegetables you can prepare this way: leeks (split and washed), romaine lettuce (quartered, the long way), or any root vegetable-especially carrots.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the butter in a flameproof casserole or an ovenproof skillet with a lid over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the endives, along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add the stock, cover, and bring to a boil.
- Put the dish in the oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until the endives are very tender and almost-but not quite-falling apart. (You can prepare the dish to this point, let sit for up to an hour, then reheat in the oven.) Sprinkle with a little lemon juice and serve.
- Add 1/4 cup minced bacon or prosciutto along with the stock.

Steps:
- For the garnish: In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, orange zest, garlic and parsley; set aside.
- For the endives: Season endives with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Place endives in pan cut side down. Once endive starts to lightly brown, about 5 minutes, add wine and reduce by three-quarters, another 4 to 5 minutes. As the wine begins to reduce, test endive for tenderness. Once the endive is tender, remove and transfer to a plate. Pat dry, cover, and set aside.
- When the wine is reduced, add orange juice and sugar. Turn up heat and reduce to a thick, shining syrup, stirring frequently. Lower temperature to medium-high, add pistachios and orange segments, and heat for 1 minute.
- Uncover endives, and transfer to two warmed plates. Garnish with bread crumb mixture. Pour orange syrup with the pistachios and oranges over the endive. Top with thin shavings of ricotta salata, and serve.

BRAISED ENDIVES WITH ORANGE, TOASTED ALMONDS AND RICOTTA
This dish is inspired by a salad I had recently at Hearth Restaurant in Manhattan. There's a nice contrast of flavors here - bitter endive, sweet oranges, mild ricotta, almonds and a nutty, mildly acidic dressing.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat in a large, heavy nonstick or cast-iron skillet. When the oil is hot, place the endives in the skillet cut side down (work in batches if necessary) and sear until very lightly browned. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the vinegar and salt to taste, cover and braise for three to five minutes until the endives are tender. Transfer the contents of the pan to a large bowl, and toss with the remaining olive oil, half the chives or mint, and the almonds. Set aside.
- Hold the orange above a bowl while you peel away the skin and white pith from top to bottom using a paring knife. Angle the knife so that it cuts away the pith with the skin. Cut away the sections from between the membranes, then cut these sections in half lengthwise to get thin slices.
- Arrange the endive mixture on salad plates. Pour the juice from the bowl over the endives. Garnish with the orange slices. Place spoonfuls of ricotta on the plate and atop the salad. Sprinkle on the remaining herbs, drizzle on the hazelnut or walnut oil, and serve.

BRAISED ENDIVES WITH ORANGE AND TOASTED ALMONDS
A light and zesty alternative to a traditional salad. My DH prefers it without the orange, and definitely without the ricotta. I like the orange, but I'm perfectly happy to go ricotta-free as the other flavors are subtle and rich already. Can be made several hours in advance and served room temperature.

Steps:
- Fry your chopped onions until transparent. Fry your chorizo cut in small slices until slightly browned. Cut your endives in halves and place, flat side down, in the bottom of your pressure cooker. Pour in the wine and water. Close the lid on your pressure cooker and let it do the work. Once it is steaming, cook for a further 15 minutes and it is ready to eat!
Tips:
- Choose the right endives: Select firm, compact endives with bright green leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the endives properly: Cut off the root end and any tough outer leaves. Slice the endives lengthwise into quarters.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the endives from burning.
- Cook the endives over low heat: Braising is a slow-cooking method, so be patient and cook the endives over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Add flavor with citrus: The orange zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to the braised endives. You can also use lemon or grapefruit zest and juice.
- Serve immediately: Braised endives are best served immediately, while they are still warm. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Braised endives with orange are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The endives are tender and flavorful, and the orange zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
