Pour cuire les endives vous avez plusieurs solutions : soit vous les cuisez a la vapeur, soit dans un jus de volaille ou de boeuf soit de la manière suivante comme nous le faisons dans nos cuisines
1 Place your endives into a pot like if you were making a star, then season them with salt and sugar. Add the lemon juice and the butter. Finally add 20cl (0.8 cup) of water.
2 Place a round piece of parchment, in which you will have made a small hole in the centre, on the top of the endives.
3 After 25 minutes of cooking all the cooking juice should be evaporated and your endives should be cooked. Take them out and press them gently to get rid of the excess water.
When cooked that way, Belgian endives can be the base for pan fried endives meuniere or a gratin of endives or endives wrapped in ham or braised in a veal jus to accompany a roast of pork, for example.
