Yield Makes 8 (side-dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound head curly endive, rinsed, leaves torn coarsely
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 15-ounce cans cannellini (white kidney beans), drained well
1/3 cup canned beef broth

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large pot over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Set bacon aside. Add onion to drippings in pot and sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add half of endive with water still clinging to leaves. Cover pot and cook until endive is wilted, stirring once, about 4 minutes. Add remaining half of endive and chopped garlic. Cover and cook until endive leaves are wilted but still bright green, stirring once, about 4 minutes. Add cannellini, beef broth, and bacon. Cook bean mixture until heated through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I found this dish to be a bit too bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also would have liked the beans to be cooked a little longer so that they were more tender.

This was a great weeknight meal. It was easy to make and didn't require a lot of ingredients. I also liked that it was a one-pot dish, which made cleanup a breeze.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the endive worked in this dish. It added a nice bitterness that balanced out the richness of the bacon and beans. I'll definitely be using endive in more recipes in the future!
