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.

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.

ENDIVE WITH ORANGES, ALMONDS, AND GOAT CHEESE
I have seen this recipe both in Vegetarian Times magazine and on the Food Network website (it was on $40 a Day). It is one of the best things I have ever eaten! Everyone I've ever served it to has loved it, too. The last six ingredients are for the Roasted Garlic Viniagrette that tops the endives.

ENDIVES WITH ORANGES AND ALMONDS
Steps:
- Cut the top and bottom off your oranges, exposing the citrus flesh inside. Then, resting on either end, cut the peels, including the white pith, off the oranges. [Set aside for orangettes!] Use your knife to cut between each membrane and orange segment, cutting only so far as the center, which should release the orange segments. You can chop them once or twice more, so the pieces are not too large. Trim end off endives and arrange individual leaves on a medium platter. Add a few orange chunks to each, then goat cheese crumbles and almonds. Season with black pepper, then drizzle with a very thin stream of olive oil. Add a few droplets of sherry vinegar to each "boat." Scatter chives over and finish each with sea salt.

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.

- Choose ruby-red oranges for their distinct flavor and appearance. - Use fresh endives for optimal texture and flavor; avoid wilted or bruised leaves. - To achieve a uniform bitterness, select endives of similar size. - When preparing dressing, whisk vigorously to emulsify the ingredients and achieve a smooth consistency. - If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to taste. - Gently toss the salad just before serving to prevent the endives from wilting and preserve their crispiness. - For a visually appealing presentation, arrange the endive leaves on a platter and top with orange segments and toasted almonds. - Experiment with different types of nuts, such as pistachios or walnuts, to add a unique flavor and texture to the dish.Conclusion:
