Steps:
- For the vinaigrette:

BRAISED ENDIVE IN MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the endive, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the stock into the skillet; bring to a boil, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, turning the endive occasionally, until just tender, about 20 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the endive to a paper-towel-lined plate; discard the stock. Pat the endive dry, and set aside.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until emulsified. Gently toss each endive in the dressing, coating well. Garnish with the parsley, and serve at room temperature; set any extra dressing on the side.

CURLY ENDIVE SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING, EGG AND GRUYèRE
This wintry salad uses the pale center leaves of the curly endive - save the outer leaves for another use, like adding to a soup - but you could also combine them with Belgian endive and Chioggia, Treviso or speckled Castelfranco radicchio. As for the eggs, which add heft, cook them as you prefer, with a runny, gooey or moist yolk.

Steps:
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add eggs (the water should cover them), and return to a boil. Adjust heat so that the water is at a brisk simmer. For a runny yolk, cook for 7 minutes; for a gooey center, cook for 8 minutes; for a slightly moist center, cook for 9 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath.
- Immediately drain eggs and plunge into ice water to cool. When cool, crack and peel eggs. (Eggs can be cooked and peeled up to several hours in advance, and refrigerated.) Roughly chop eggs into haphazard slices.
- Put vinegar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve. Slowly whisk in olive oil to make a slightly thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Put endive in a low, wide salad bowl and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Add dressing to taste and toss well. Transfer greens to individual plates. Top with chopped egg. With a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Gruyère over each salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right endive and chicory: For the best flavor and texture, select endive and chicory that are crisp, firm, and have a deep green color.
- Wash the endive and chicory thoroughly: To remove any dirt or debris, rinse the endive and chicory under cold water. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before assembling the salad.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the endive and chicory: This will help to prevent the leaves from tearing and bruising.
- Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Toss the salad gently: To avoid bruising the leaves, use a light hand when tossing the salad.
Conclusion:
This endive and chicory salad with grainy mustard vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion.
