Steps:
- Prepare grill.
- With a vegetable peeler remove two 1 1/4- by 1/2-inch strips zest from orange and cut lengthwise into very thin strips. Squeeze enough juice from orange to measure 1 tablespoon. In a bowl whisk together zest, orange juice, vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well.
- Halve endives lengthwise, keeping halves from separating into leaves, and brush all over with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Season endives with salt and pepper and grill, cut sides down, on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 6 minutes. Turn endives and grill until just tender, 6 minutes more. (Alternatively, endives may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
- Serve endives drizzled with vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Heat an outdoor grill or stove top grill pan over high heat.
- Trim the tough, woody bottom of the endive leaving just enough for the leaves to remain connected. Cut the endives in half, lengthwise. Combine the oil and 1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano. Brush the cut sides of the endive with the oil oregano mixture.
- Brush grill grates or grill pan lightly with olive oil. Grill the endives on the grill by placing them cut side down and cooking until the edges are browned and curled, about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove to serving dish and drizzle with balsamic vinegar, remaining oregano, salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right endive and radicchio: Look for firm, crisp heads with brightly colored leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the endive and radicchio properly: Trim the root end of the endive and radicchio and separate the leaves. Wash the leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to caramelize the endive and radicchio and give them a slightly smoky flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Grill the endive and radicchio in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
- Cook the endive and radicchio until they are slightly charred: This will give them a nice smoky flavor and help to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Serve the endive and radicchio immediately: Drizzle them with the gorgonzola and sage-infused olive oil and sprinkle with crumbled gorgonzola cheese.
Conclusion:
Grilled endive and radicchio with gorgonzola and sage-infused olive oil is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The endive and radicchio are slightly charred and caramelized, and the gorgonzola and sage-infused olive oil adds a rich and flavorful touch.
