Everyone knows the standard endive stew, but most people don't get beyond that dish with this vegetable. We think that's a shame, because you can make so many variations that are often not thought of!
Here's proof that it can be different, and better. By using fresh orange, tender lamb chops and delicious buttermilk marinade, you'll end up with a completely different endive dish. One that is more of the times. Of course, there's nothing wrong with the standard endive and it remains delicious. Yet today we're putting on our bold shoes to inspire you with this delicious dish.
