1 Place your endives in a steamer or couscoussier, season with coarse salt, water, a bay leaf, and a bit of thyme.
2 Steam for 10 minutes after boiling, then drain them by pressing firmly and cut them lengthwise in halves.
3 In a wok or sauté pan, melt the butter with a hint of oil, then add the endives. Season with salt and pepper and give them some color by turning them. After 5 minutes, add a generous dash of dark beer or soy sauce. Push them aside and add the chanterelles. Stop the heat and cover.
4 Just as your guests are seated, place your foie gras slices in the freezer for five minutes. Heat a pan and lay the slices in it. Season the cooking for one minute on each side. Open the wok lid and place the foie gras slices, and if any remaining fat in the pan, over the endives. Reheat the entire dish covered for five minutes.
5 Serve on lovely warm plates with a bed of endives, the foie gras slice crowned with a beautiful slice of truffle (if available), and the chanterelles arranged around.
Contrairement à une habitude courante, je ne sucre pas les endives, car j'aime leur légère amertume.
De plus j'ai été nommé il y a quelques années je cite "Chevalier" dans la Grande Confrérie De L'Endive de France.
Et ceci tant j'adore préparer ce légume souvent oublié sur les cartes de restaurants.
