Modern Endive Mash - Something a bit different from the usual.

Everyone knows the classic mashed potato and endive dish, but most people don’t go beyond that with this vegetable. We think that’s a shame because you can create so many variations that often aren’t considered!

Here’s proof that it can be done differently, and better. By using fresh orange, tender lamb chops, and a delicious buttermilk marinade, you get a whole new take on endive. One that’s a bit more up to date. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the classic endive dish and it remains tasty. Still, today we’re putting on our bold shoes to inspire you with this delicious recipe.
