Stage 2/5 : 3 min.
Boil a large pan of salted water.With a small sharp knife, remove a small cone from the bottom and discard it. The cone size depends on endive size, usually about half an inch is fine.

Note:If endive are medium or big size, think to cut them in two, from top to bottom, to reduce cooking and blenching time.
