Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 small Belgian endives, about 1 pound
2 tablespoons butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup water

Steps:

  • Trim off and discard any discolored leaves from the outside of the endives. Put the endives in a saucepan and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar and water. Cover tightly; bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain the endives and press them gently to remove any excess moisture.
  • Heat the remaining butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the endives in one layer. Brown the endives on all sides over medium-high heat. They should be light brown when cooked.
