Endive Boats With Marinated Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the endive leaves and arrange on a serving platter.
• In a medium bowl, add the mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, olive oil, Parmesan, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste; toss to combine. Spoon about a heaping tablespoon of the filling into each endive leaf.

Steps:

• Lay the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Chop and set aside.
• Separate the endive leaves and arrange 14 large spears on a serving platter. Set aside the remaining leaves.
• Divide the tomatoes evenly between the endive spears. Drizzle with the blue cheese dressing. Top with the red onion, bacon and walnuts. Season with salt and pepper. Chop the remaining endive leaves and use them to garnish the platter before serving.

Steps:

• Place beet and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a saucepan of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; boil until beet is tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and peel beet; grate on large holes on a box grater, and place in a bowl. Grate carrot; add to beets.
• Cut fennel into very thin 1/2-inch-long slivers; add to beets and carrots.
• Whisk together vinegar, olive oil, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with vegetables. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Trim endive, separating leaves. Reserve large leaves for another use. Fill lower half of small leaves with 1 1/2 teaspoons of vegetable mixture. Top with 1/8 teaspoon salmon roe, if using; garnish with chervil.
