Directions
Clean the endive, peel off the leaves, wash and cut into small pieces, then blanch for 10 minutes in a saucepan of boiling salted water. Drain well, pressing out any remaining water by hand.
Place the endive in a terracotta pot with the finely-chopped onion, butter cut into small pieces, a clove of crushed garlic, anchovy fillets, finely-chopped black olives, and freshly-ground pepper.
Cover the pot with a lid and cook over a very low heat for 40 minutes, after adding the broth. When done, remove the lid, turn up the heat slightly. Check seasoning and drizzle in a tablespoon of vinegar. When this has evaporated, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the endive, stir, turn carefully place onto a serving plate and serve immediately.
This is a tasty side dish and is excellent lukewarm with boiled white meats.
