Yield Makes 8 (side-dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound head curly endive, rinsed, leaves torn coarsely
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 15-ounce cans cannellini (white kidney beans), drained well
1/3 cup canned beef broth

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large pot over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Set bacon aside. Add onion to drippings in pot and sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add half of endive with water still clinging to leaves. Cover pot and cook until endive is wilted, stirring once, about 4 minutes. Add remaining half of endive and chopped garlic. Cover and cook until endive leaves are wilted but still bright green, stirring once, about 4 minutes. Add cannellini, beef broth, and bacon. Cook bean mixture until heated through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans turned out mushy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beans were still a little hard. I think I'll cook them for a bit longer next time.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I'm not a big fan of endive, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The bacon and beans were so flavorful that they overpowered the bitterness of the endive.
