Disguised Endives
In this recipe, the bitterness of the endive is disguised by the sweet flavor from the figs
The “bitter cone” is at the base of endives. With a pointed knife, remove a cone of roughly 3 cm in height. It is the part of the endive where the bitter flavor is concentrated, the part that children, and many adults, do not appreciate!
