Chicory Baked with Cheese and Red Wine
Appetizers • French
Description
It can be served as a side dish (especially with duck) or simply on its own.
Ingredients
- Chicory 6 pieces
- Red Grape Juice 5 fl oz
- Sugar 2 tablespoons
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable Oil 2 tablespoons
- Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese 5 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cut the chicory lengthwise into 4 pieces.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil (non-aromatic!) in a skillet — use 1 tablespoon for each portion that fits in the skillet, as chicory absorbs very little oil.
Step 3
Place the chopped chicory in the skillet and fry until only one side is browned. Once nicely browned, flip to the other side; sprinkle with sugar, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, and drizzle with wine (enough for the next portion of chicory as well). Now stir, but not with spatulas; toss it by shaking the skillet sharply.
Step 4
Finish frying the chicory and transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 5
Arrange the chicory on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cheese, and place in an oven preheated to 355°F for 10-15 minutes.
