Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup Triple Sec or other orange liqueur
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 heads Belgian endive, (1 1/4 pounds)
1 orange, peel and pith removed, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

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.

I followed the recipe exactly and my endives turned out mushy. I think I may have cooked them for too long. Other than that, the dish was tasty.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory sauce. However, the endives were cooked perfectly and had a nice texture.

This was a great way to use up some leftover endives. The orange sauce was easy to make and added a lot of flavor to the dish. I served it over quinoa and it was a healthy and satisfying meal.
