Braised Endive

By Laken

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 10 to 12 Belgian endives
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter over medium low heat in a large, heavy frying pan, saute pan, or pot with a tight fitting lid.

Meanwhile, trim and discard any browned bit son the ends of the endives. When butter is melted, lay endives in a single layer in the pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt. Pour water down along the side of the pan. Cover and reduce heat to low. Let cook, undisturbed, until endives are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

When endives are very tender, set lid ajar and cook until endives start to brown. Turn endives over and cook until they are browned on both sides.
