Ingredients

2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup Triple Sec or other orange liqueur
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 heads Belgian endive, (1 1/4 pounds)
1 orange, peel and pith removed, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

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.

Tips:

For a crispy endive boat, choose firm endive leaves and pat them dry before assembling.
To make the orange sauce, use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of orange zest for an extra citrusy kick.
If you don't have hoisin sauce, you can substitute a mixture of soy sauce and brown sugar.
For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas.
These orange chicken endive boats are best served immediately, but you can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave.
