recipe: Braised curly endive

[Guest guest]

Any green would work for this recipe, it actually originally called

for romaine lettuce.

 

1 bunch curly endive (or your favorite green), washed, well rinsed and

cut into thirds (approx)

1 small onion, sliced thinly

2 celery stalks, sliced thinly

2 garlic cloves, crushed

salt and pepper

oil

 

Heat oil in deep saucepan, add onion and celery and saute until crisp

tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and saute another 30 sec, just

until you can smell the garlic. Add the greens, push down and cover.

Cook 15-20 minutes, stirring occassionally. If there is much liquid at

bottom of pan when done cooking, remove lid and cook a bit longer to

reduce liquid. Add salt & pepper to taste.

 

Serve atop whipped polenta (recipe in files).
