Endive ⚖
510125
Endive (or chicory) is a fresh leaf vegetable, characterised by its elongated shape and white leaves with yellow tips. Supplied by Le Delas, a wholesaler in Rungis, this vegetable is appreciated for its crunchiness and slight bitterness, which can vary depending on the season and origin. Culinary uses: Endive can be used in a variety of ways, either raw or cooked: ► Raw: Ideal for salads, either on its own or mixed with other ingredients, often accompanied by walnuts, apples and Roquefort sauce. ► Appetiser/starter: The detached leaves can be used as small bowls for other ingredients (fish mousse, rillettes, etc.). ► Hot dishes: A classic dish is endives au jambon gratinées (braised and rolled in a slice of ham with béchamel sauce and cheese), or simply braised to accompany meat or fish dishes. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. Store away from light to prevent increased bitterness. Ideally, store in a cool place. ► Preparation: Remove the outer damaged leaves. Cut off the base (the cone) to reduce bitterness if necessary. Wash before use. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
