- Serve as whole braised chestnuts or pass through a ricer and make a wonderful chestnut puree.
BRAISED BELGIAN ENDIVE
Endive makes a lovely salad or cooked like this recipe. I love a variety of vegetables and this is one I enjoy making. Cook longer or less depending on your personal taste. Use fresh herbs if they are available increase herbs to 3 tbsp if you use fresh and chop finely.

BRAISED ENDIVES
Endives have a couple of things going for them: they're grown inside (mostly in the dark, so they stay white), so they're fresh all year round; they have great form and nice crunchy texture; they are unusually bitter, but in a pleasant way. Cooked-especially with good stock-they are elegant and delicious. Other vegetables you can prepare this way: leeks (split and washed), romaine lettuce (quartered, the long way), or any root vegetable-especially carrots.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the butter in a flameproof casserole or an ovenproof skillet with a lid over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the endives, along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add the stock, cover, and bring to a boil.
- Put the dish in the oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until the endives are very tender and almost-but not quite-falling apart. (You can prepare the dish to this point, let sit for up to an hour, then reheat in the oven.) Sprinkle with a little lemon juice and serve.
- Add 1/4 cup minced bacon or prosciutto along with the stock.
