Sergios Belgian Endive Salad

This is something my former employer at an Italian restaurant used to make after work, one of 2 ways that make me eat Belgian endive. It’s not a proper recipe, so i have never measured the ingredients.

Arugula Walnut Pate With Belgian Endive

This is from 365 Ways to Cook Vegetarian. “Arugula, also called roquette, is a delicate and spicy green usually tossed into mesclun, or young lettuce mix. You can substitute watercress for the arugula…”

Simple Farmstyle Belgian Endive With Bacon and Blue Cheese

There’s no pretention here: it’s simply a quick way to prepare endives/witlof/chicory so it can be be presented as a side dish. It could be a starter, but mine simply was not smart enough to dish up as a starter. The endives won’t be limp in this recipe, but still a little crunchy, depending on their size. They do shrink somewhat while baking. If you want them more tender, bake for longer, but cover loosely with foil. Ideal with a simple chicken dish, and its earthy saltiness is complemented by another side dish which is slightly sweet, like butternut or sweet potatoes.
