Stage 4 - 5 min.

Note: the pastry can be made to this stage the day before.

Stage 6 - 15 min.

Prepare the filling

Prepare and chop 1 shallot.

Prepare and chop 300 g endives (head of chicory).

Prepare and chop 1 leek, keeping just the white part (you can use the green leaves in another recipe).

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large frying pan on medium heat.

When hot, add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Add the endives and leek, mix well and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 9 - 7 min.

Pour in 300 ml liquid cream, salt and pepper again, then turn down the heat and leave to reduce gently for 5 minutes.

Check the seasoning, then leave to cool.
