Steps:
- For the garnish: In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, orange zest, garlic and parsley; set aside.
- For the endives: Season endives with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Place endives in pan cut side down. Once endive starts to lightly brown, about 5 minutes, add wine and reduce by three-quarters, another 4 to 5 minutes. As the wine begins to reduce, test endive for tenderness. Once the endive is tender, remove and transfer to a plate. Pat dry, cover, and set aside.
- When the wine is reduced, add orange juice and sugar. Turn up heat and reduce to a thick, shining syrup, stirring frequently. Lower temperature to medium-high, add pistachios and orange segments, and heat for 1 minute.
- Uncover endives, and transfer to two warmed plates. Garnish with bread crumb mixture. Pour orange syrup with the pistachios and oranges over the endive. Top with thin shavings of ricotta salata, and serve.

BRAISED ENDIVES WITH ORANGE, TOASTED ALMONDS AND RICOTTA
This dish is inspired by a salad I had recently at Hearth Restaurant in Manhattan. There's a nice contrast of flavors here - bitter endive, sweet oranges, mild ricotta, almonds and a nutty, mildly acidic dressing.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat in a large, heavy nonstick or cast-iron skillet. When the oil is hot, place the endives in the skillet cut side down (work in batches if necessary) and sear until very lightly browned. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the vinegar and salt to taste, cover and braise for three to five minutes until the endives are tender. Transfer the contents of the pan to a large bowl, and toss with the remaining olive oil, half the chives or mint, and the almonds. Set aside.
- Hold the orange above a bowl while you peel away the skin and white pith from top to bottom using a paring knife. Angle the knife so that it cuts away the pith with the skin. Cut away the sections from between the membranes, then cut these sections in half lengthwise to get thin slices.
- Arrange the endive mixture on salad plates. Pour the juice from the bowl over the endives. Garnish with the orange slices. Place spoonfuls of ricotta on the plate and atop the salad. Sprinkle on the remaining herbs, drizzle on the hazelnut or walnut oil, and serve.

Steps:
- To continue cooking on the stovetop, reduce the heat to low. Let the endives cook, undisturbed, until they are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- To finish cooking in the oven, put the pan in a 375 F oven (make sure the pan is oven-safe) and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. (This method is more likely to result in more evenly browned endives.)
- Enjoy.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.

Drizzle the leaves with the vinaigrette and add the walnuts, Roquefort, and apple. Add the arugula and toss. Zest the orange into the salad with a strip zester. Peel the orange and remove the white pith around the orange with a small sharp knife. Cut the orange sections between the membranes and toss them on the salad. Discard the membranes.

BRAISED ENDIVES WITH ORANGE AND TOASTED ALMONDS
A light and zesty alternative to a traditional salad. My DH prefers it without the orange, and definitely without the ricotta. I like the orange, but I'm perfectly happy to go ricotta-free as the other flavors are subtle and rich already. Can be made several hours in advance and served room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right endives: Look for firm, compact endives with bright green leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the endives properly: Cut off the root end of each endive, then slice the endives in half lengthwise. Remove the core from each half, then cut the endives into quarters.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When braising the endives, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. If the endives are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth you use for braising the endives is important. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a good body. A homemade broth is always best, but you can also use a good quality store-bought broth.
- Cook the endives until they are tender: The endives should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked endives will become mushy.
- Serve the endives immediately: Braised endives are best served immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course. You can also use them to make a delicious sandwich or salad.
Conclusion:
Braised endives are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate main course, braised endives are a great option. So next time you are looking for something new to try, give braised endives a try. You won't be disappointed!
