Ingredients:

  • Four medium-sized trunks of chicory.
  • 200 grams of ham.
  • 200 grams of cheese.
  • 3 medium eggs.
  • A bottle of mustard honey dressing.

You can put in more ingredients if you like, but this is how we like it.

 

Preparation:

  1. Remove the outer leafs of the chicory, if they not look nice.
  2. Split down the middle, and down the middle again. (You will have quarter trunks.)
  3. Slice the quarters and discard the last part with the roots.
  4. Wash thoroughly and drain the water. (Leave it for about 10 minutes.)
  5. In the meantime put some water on, to boil the eggs. (Boil the eggs 4 to 5 minutes.)
  6. Dice the ham and cheese finely.
  7. After draining the chicory, put it in a large salad bowl.
  8. Mix the dressing with the chicory. (I will put about 200 - 250 ml in, but you can put in more or less after your own taste.)
  9. Peal the eggs, and dice them.
  10.  Mix the ham, cheese and eggs through.
  11.  Ready to serve.
This can be served as an entrée or side dish, but also as a main course served with potatoes or pasta. Bon appetite!!!!!!

Ingredients:

  • 800 grams Endive sliced
  • 600 grams Potatoes
  • 300 grams Bacon cubes
  • Pinch of Salt

 

Preparation:

  1. Peel the potatoes and dice them in large pieces (depending on the size of the potato, to reduce boiling time)
  2. Cook them in water with big pinch of salt, until tender.
  3. Heat a frying pan without butter or oil, because you will use the lard from the bacon. Fry the bacon until crisp. Don’t discard the lard, you will use it later in the stew.
  4. Wash the sliced endive with cold water and let it drain.
  5. Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large pot.
  6. Mash half of the endive through and half of the bacon including the lard.
  7. If it’s mixed properly then put in the other half of the endive and bacon, and start mashing again. (mashing the endive releases the flavor)
  8. Serve immediately.
You can serve this meal with pork or beef. Your choice. Bon appetite!!!!!!
