About

A vegetable that is wonderful braised, even though it is often thought of as being a salad ingredient.

Ingredients

60 g (2 oz) unsalted butter
4 witlof (chicory)

Side dish
Gluten-free

Method

Preheat the oven to moderate 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Grease a baking dish with one third of the butter. Remove any blemished outer leaves of the witlof and trim and core the root end. This removes some of the bitterness. Wash and place them in the prepared dish.
