Warm Endive Salad With Parmesan And Hazelnuts

"For me, cooking has always been a way to wind down and relax," writes Mark Van Wye of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. "I'm a writer and I work from home, so depending on how busy things are, I can spend hours preparing a meal. But I also like to be ready to whip up dinner at the drop of a hat. The recipe here is just one of a handful of standbys I rely on when last-minute company is coming or a deadline has kept me out of the kitchen."

Courses: Salads
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
1 tablespoon 15mlGarlic clove - finely chopped (large)
4 tablespoons 60mlBelgian endive heads - halved lengthwise (large)
1/4 cup 59mlDry white wine
1/4 cup 59mlLow-salt chicken broth
2 teaspoons 10mlWhite wine vinegar
8 tablespoons 120mlFreshly-grated Parmesan cheese - - (abt 2 oz)
  Chopped toasted hazelnuts - for garnish
  Chopped fresh chives - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add endive, cut-side down. Add wine and broth and bring to boil. Cover and cook 5 minutes.

Using tongs, turn endive over. Cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute longer. Remove skillet from heat.

Using tongs, lift endive from skillet, draining liquid from each back into skillet, and transfer 2 halves, cut-side up, to each of 4 plates.

Add vinegar to skillet; cook over medium heat until sauce reduces slightly, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper; spoon over endive. Sprinkle each salad with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, then hazelnuts and chives.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
