View the next recipe for this meal.

A puree of corn is poured across tender grilled endive. Adding a bit of tangy sweetness to the slightly bitter, slightly sweet grilled endive.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup corn, cooked kernels
  • cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 3 heads belgian endive

Serving Size: 2 People



 

Preparation Instructions

Pour a generous splash of the olive oil on a plate. Heat the grill to high heat.

Place the rest of the olive oil in a blender with the vinegar, corn, a pinch of salt & pepper.

Blend up until smooth. Add a splash of water or more olive oil if the dressing is not blending smoothly.

Cut the endive heads in half lengthwise and dip in the olive oil on the plate, coating generously on each side.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill cut side down first for 1-3 minutes until lightly golden. Flip over and sear on the other side until golden marks appear, about 1-3 minutes.

Serve the endives with a generous smear of the corn sauce.
