When you think of chicory from oven , you already quick think of chicory with ham and cheese. I wouldn't even want to try to make a vegetable version of that, because I can't imagine it would be delicious. This recipe for caramelized chicory from oven combines chicory with garlic and orange. This gives you a dish with a lot of flavor and really brings out the bitterness of the chicory.
This is typically one of those dishes that doesn't require that much work. The endive does need a little time in the oven and you also need to flip it occasionally, but beyond that it's maybe 5 minutes work. The result is a tasty and healthy side dish for the holidays, where the bitterness of the chicory goes well with the chunky pumpkin puree from Ottolenghi's Flavour.
Tips
- Make it extra tasty by spreading some lumps of vegetable butter over the endive
- Make sure the baking dish is well filled but the chicory does not overlap
