Braised Endive

Print This Recipe



DON'T USE an iron skillet, or the endive will turn black.

INGREDIENTS

8 small endive
3 tablespoons butter
Chicken broth
Salt

Wash the endive and cut off any discolored spots. Split them lengthwise if they are large; leave them whole if they are small.

Sauté them in the butter for about 5 minutes, then add about 1/2-inch of broth. Cover and cook slowly until just tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 20 minutes.

Arrange the endive in a serving dish. Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until it is reduced to just a few tablespoons. Add salt to taste. Pour over the endive and serve.
