Preparation
- Step 1
Trim off the bottom of each endive. Place the endives in a heavy saucepan and add the butter, lemon juice, sugar, water, salt and pepper. Cover tightly, bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes or until the endives are tender.
- Step 2
Preheat the broiler.
- Step 3
Drain the endives and press gently to remove any excess moisture.
- Step 4
Arrange the endives in a buttered baking dish large enough to hold them in one layer. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over them and add the melted butter. Place under the broiler until the cheese is golden brown.

This is a perfect recipe for a much neglected dish underlined by the fact that this is the very first posting. Or maybe because it cant be improved. After parboiling as directed, it can be grilled at the last minute to go with anything- steak, duck confit, chicken breast or thighs with briefly braised grapes. You name it.
