Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 white onion, sliced
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 medium celery stalk, peeled and sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
9 Belgian endive, trimmed and discolored leaves removed
3/4 cup white-wine vinegar
6 tablespoons dry white wine
6 tablespoons verjus

Steps:

  • In a large straight-sided skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add bay leaf, thyme, and endives. Stir to coat with oil. Add vinegar, wine, verjus, and enough water to cover. Season again with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with parchment paper and then the lid. Simmer over medium-low heat until endives are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 50 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Halve endive lengthwise, and serve with some of the braising liquid.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add a bit more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes for a little heat.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my endive turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not a big fan of endive, but I really enjoyed this dish. The braising process really mellowed out the bitterness of the endive and the dates and goat cheese added a nice sweetness and creaminess.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the endive had been roasted instead of braised.
