Yield Makes 4 to 6 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 orange
5 Belgian endives (1 1/4 pounds)
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs from a baguette
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from orange, then squeeze juice. Set aside.
  • Cut out a round of parchment paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet and butter one side of parchment.
  • Trim end of each endive and halve lengthwise. Arrange, cut sides down, in 1 layer in 12-inch skillet. Add broth, zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits. Cover endives with parchment, buttered side down. Simmer until tender and liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • While endives braise, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir together with bread crumbs, five-spice powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Add cream to endives and cook, uncovered, over medium heat, swirling, until thickened, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon orange juice. Arrange endives cut sides up with sauce in a lightly buttered 1 1/2- to 2-quarts shallow baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with crumbs and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The endives are slightly bitter, the oranges are sweet, and the sauce is tangy. It's a perfect balance.
