Whoever invented the all-you-can-eat salad bar made a terrible mistake. In
their rush to feed millions of greasy bargain-hunting patrons, they forgot about
the majestic endive. The endive's bitter taste isn't for everyone, but it is for
everyone who is ANYONE. The chemicals that produce the bitter flavor are considered
by many to be an aphrodisiac…
2
or 3 nice size Belgium endives
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 cup of
crumbled aged good goat cheese
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon of 100 year old balsamic
vinegar (or if you’re poor, save
up and use 25
year old)
3 spoons of olive oil
Reserve a few (six) endive leaves and put on
plates in a star pattern.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the vinegar
with the olive oil.
Julienne (if You'don’t know what julienne
means…well, that’s
your problem. Look it
up, genius.) the rest of the endive leaves
and toss
with the parsley, goat cheese and
walnuts.
Arrange the reserved endive leaves on two
plates and display the tossed mixture
on
them. Sprinkle with the dressing and serve.
Serves two. |
