Recipe Description
They are typically prepared by gently searing the endives in butter or oil and then simmering. The braising transforms their texture into something tender and almost creamy.

ingredients
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 Belgian Endives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- chopped parsley
Method
Step 1
In a non-stick skillet melt the butter and the olive oil.
Step 2
Remove any damaged leaves and a very thin layer of the hardcore bottom (make sure that you do not cut too much of it so that the outer leaves start to unravel). Wash the endives and add them, whole and still wet, to the skillet.
Step 3
Sprinkle with salt and sugar, cover, and cook over low heat, turning occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until the endives are very tender and caramelized.
Step 4
Remove the lid and cook over high heat to evaporate any extra liquids if any remaining.
Step 5
Serve with the juices and sprinkle the parley, optional.
