Best 9 Braised Endives With Orange Recipes

BRAISED ENDIVE WITH ORANGE

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.

BRAISED ENDIVES WITH BLOOD ORANGES, PISTACHIOS, AND RICOTTA SALATA

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

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.

• Cut the heads of endive in half lengthwise, remove the triangle of core at the base of each half so the leaves separate, and cut the leaves in half again lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. 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. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

BRAISED ENDIVES WITH ORANGE

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.

BRAISED ENDIVE WITH HAM AND GRUYèRE

Steps:

• To cook the endive, combine the butter, sugar, salt, and 10 1/2 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add the endive, cover, and cook until very tender, about 45 minutes. A knife should be able to pierce through with no resistance. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the endive to paper towels. Reserve 1 1/4 cups cooking liquid. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the endive.
• Wrap each endive with slices of ham. Arrange the endive in a shallow baking dish that holds them snugly; you don't want any space between the endive.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• To make the béchamel, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until golden. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture smells nutty, about 2 minutes. Continue whisking and add the milk, then the reserved endive cooking liquid in a slow, steady stream. Bring the mixture to a boil while whisking. Continue whisking until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the nutmeg and pepper.
• Pour the béchamel over the endive and spread to cover them evenly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Set the dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until bubbly and golden brown on top, about 15 minutes. If you want the top more browned and crusty, broil for a minute or two after baking. Serve hot.

Steps:

Transfer contents to a large bowl and toss with remaining EVOO, half the mint or chives, and almonds. Set aside.
• Hold the orange above the bowl while you peel away the skin and pith from top to bottom using a paring knife. Cut away sections from between the membranes, then cut sections in half lengthwise to get thin slices.
• Arrange the endive mixture on salad plates and pour the juice from the bowl over them. Garnish with orange slices and top with remaining herbs.
