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.
BRAISED ENDIVE WITH CHESTNUTS IN BROWN BUTTER
Steps:
- Add 2 tablespoons butter to a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add the endives cut-side down. Sear until the bottoms are slightly charred, then add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter along with the chestnuts and sage leaves and cook until the chestnuts begin to brown. Finish with the sherry vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the endives on a plate or platter charred-side up. Spoon chestnuts over the endives, then drizzle with the sauce. Serve immediately.

BRAISED BELGIAN ENDIVE
Steps:
- Trim off the root ends and remove any discolored outer leaves of: 4 Belgian endive.
- Cut in half lengthwise and season well with: Salt.
- Melt in a heavy-bottomed skillet: 2 tablespoons butter.
- Add the endive, cut side down, and cook over medium heat until nicely browned. This can be done in batches, adding more butter with each batch. The pan will brown, which is fine; just don't allow it to blacken. If it does, wash it out before adding the next batch. Place the endive, browned sides up, in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour in: About 1 cup chicken broth.
- The broth should be about 1/2 inch deep in the dish. Cover tightly and bake in a 400°F oven until tender, about 20 minutes. Check for doneness by probing the core with a sharp knife.
- Variations
- Wrap each endive half in a thin slice of pancetta or bacon before browning. Brown the wrapped endives on both sides, using more butter if necessary, and braise as above.
- Place the cut endives in a baking dish and pour in about 3/4 cup cream, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, brown, and bubbling.
ENDIVES BRAISED IN BROTH WITH PARMESAN
Grown indoors in the dark, endives are among the perfect winter vegetables, usually used in salads but also lovely when cooked. This simple gratin benefits from good, dark stock, but the addition of Parmigiano-Reggiano will cover you if you resort to canned stock.

Steps:
- Remove just a couple of the outer leaves from each of the endives; rinse them and put them in a skillet in one layer. Add the stock and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the broiler.
- Cover the endives with the cheese and run under the broiler, just long enough to slightly brown the cheese. Serve with a slotted spoon.
