A few tips to cook endives :

• Appetizers: Belgian endive leaves hold their funnel-like shape when separated, making them ideal finger food, canapes, or substitutes for chips when served with dip. Tuck a slice of creamy cheese like Brie on the wide end of cleaned outer leaves, topped with ½ teaspoon of compote, marmalade, or jam.

• Endive salads: As a salad green, the strength of the endive lies in its crisp structure and palate-cleansing bitterness. Frisée is perhaps the most common. Slice Belgian endives thin and horizontally for more delicate ribbons in a mesclun mix.

• Sautées, roasted, baked, or braised: Belgian endives can be braised whole or halved and served as a side dish; baked into a gratin… Everything is possible !
