Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 endives
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup red wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 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



Braised Endives image

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.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
4 Belgian endives, trimmed
Salt and black pepper to taste
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock, preferably homemade (page 160 or 162), white or red wine, or water
Fresh lemon juice to taste

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.

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     dinner, lunch

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons toasted bread crumbs
Half teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
4 heads endive,halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup Verdicchio or other white wine
1 1/2 cups blood orange or other orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon shelled pistachios
6 blood orange segments or othero range segments
4 thin shavings (1/2 ounce total) ricotta salata
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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



Braised Endives With Orange, Toasted Almonds and Ricotta image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 endives, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon finely chopped chives or mint
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped toasted almonds
1 navel orange
4 tablespoons 2 ounces fresh ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons hazelnut oil or walnut oil (optional)
Coarse sea salt or fleur de sel

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



Braised Endives With Orange and Toasted Almonds image

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!
