Categories     side dish

Time 35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 endive
4 medium leeks
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups chicken stock (preferably homemade)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons chopped chervil or parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Rinse the endive but leave the heads whole. Slice the leeks, trimming the roots and withered leaves. Rinse them thoroughly in several changes of cold water, making sure you have removed all the grit. Do not worry if the slices come apart.
  • Place the sliced leeks across the bottom of a buttered shallow baking dish just big enough to hold the endive in one layer (use two dishes if necessary). Arrange the endive on top and add the butter, cut into pieces, and the chicken stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with wax or foil paper and bake until the endive is tender (about 30 or 40 minutes) and the liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze. (Remove the paper during cooking, about halfway through, if necessary to reduce the liquid).
  • Sprinkle with chervil or parsley and serve.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several substitutions and it still didn't turn out quite right. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

Followed the recipe but my endives turned out a bit too soft. I think I might have braised them for a few minutes too long. Otherwise, the flavors were great!

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or perhaps a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.

Not a big fan of endives, but this recipe changed my mind. The braising process mellowed out the bitterness and the leeks added a nice sweetness. Will definitely be making this again.
