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.
