Endive With Tomato Rosettes Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon hazelnut oil and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Add 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes, 3 chopped endives and 4 chopped cucumbers; season with salt and pepper and toss. Top with chopped toasted hazelnuts.

Steps:

• Drain oil from sun-dried tomatoes and reserve. Place drained tomatoes in food processor. Add zest and chopped orange pulp to tomatoes and process until thick and smooth, adding a little reserved tomato oil, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Place endive leaves on platter or in flat wicker basket. Place 1/2 tablespoon tomato-orange pate near bottom of each leaf. Cut orange segments in half lengthwise and place on top of pate.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425.
• Discard any of the endive's bruised or wilted outer leaves. Cut away a thin slice from the root end to remove the usually discolored surface portion of the stem. Wash the endive under cold running water, then shake off the moisture.
• Cut each head of endive in half lengthwise. Make a cut in the root end, cutting half as deep as the root is thick and running the cut from the bottom to where the leaves join the root.
• Place the endive on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until the endive is browned, and very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. (It's done when you can easily pierce the root end with a fork.) Serve hot or warm.
