Curly Endive

Curly Endive: Is a member of Chicorium family. It has a fresh and slightly bitter flavor.

A Few Preparation Ideas:

Curly Endive is best cooked. I like to sauté it with shallots to add a little sweetness, garlic, or even roasted garlic to add another flavor level, and some olive oil and salt. Fresh ground pepper can be lovely as well.

To make a nice bruschetta, you can add arugula, and diced tomatoes to the sauté. Then place the greens on top of a toasted baguette and crumble goat cheese over the top. You can then toast the bruschetta to warm the goat cheese.
