How to prepare endives (Slideshow version)
Step 2/5 : 3 min.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.Using a sharp knife, cut out a small cone from the base of the endive and discard it. The size of the cone depends on the size of the endive; generally, 1 or 1/2 centimeter is enough.
This is done to reduce the bitterness of the endive.
Tip: If the endives are medium or large, it’s best to cut them in half lengthwise; this helps them cook more evenly.
Your endives are now ready to be cooked or eaten raw.
