Braised Belgian Endive Elegance

Ingredients

Belgian endive

6 heads

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons

Chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Honey

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon or to taste

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon or to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Belgian endive by trimming the bottoms and removing any wilted outer leaves.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the Belgian endive heads to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are lightly browned.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the broth, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
5. Pour this tangy-sweet broth mixture over the lightly browned Belgian endive in the skillet.
6. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the endive simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender.
7. Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly, coating the endive in a luxurious glaze.
8. Serve the Braised Belgian Endive Elegance warm as a sophisticated side dish with your favorite main course.
