Name: Broiled Curried Belgian Endive with Peanuts
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts; ¼ teaspoon sugar; 2 teaspoons lime juice; ¾ teaspoon curry powder; ¼ cup lightly packed cilantro (coriander); 1 tablespoon thin-sliced scallion (green onion) tops; 6 medium Belgian endives; ¾ teaspoon kosher salt; 1½ tablespoons peanut oil (preferably roasted)

For this dish, do not trim the base of the endives as is customary, or the heads may fall apart during cooking. Hot Madras-style curry powder underscores endive’s sweetness; or choose a milder style, as your taste dictates. Roasted peanut oil adds richness and depth. If it is not on hand, substitute 1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus 1
