Dinner Component: Braised Endives II

Dinner, originally uploaded by essgee51.

Last night's repast was simple but hearty and flavorful. We basically repeated this soy-ginger mackerel braise (the sauce was delicious over rice) and quickly braised some endives (more quickly and simply than I did here, hence the rewriting of a recipe).

• 1-1/2 tbsp. butter
• 3 fat endives, cored and halved
• 1-1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. water
• salt and pepper to taste

Brown endives in butter over medium heat, about 5-7 minutes.

Add juice and water, then cover and simmer till tender, anywhere from 15-25 minutes depending on how you like them.

Adjust seasoning.
