Sautéed Lemon Maple Frisée

This elegant sautéed lemon and maple frisée offers a sophisticated twist on bitter salad greens. By quickly wilting the frisée in a savoury base of olive oil and anchovy paste, the natural sharpness of the leaves is beautifully balanced. A whisper of maple syrup and bright lemon juice adds depth, creating a complex flavour profile that works perfectly as a light, dairy-free side dish for roasted meats or grilled fish.

The dish is finished with a generous sprinkling of golden, citrus-infused breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch. This recipe is an excellent way to enjoy frisée warm, moving beyond its traditional role in a cold salad. It is a quick and healthy addition to your midweek repertoire, providing a boost of greens with a professional, restaurant-style finish.

Ingredients for Sautéed Lemon Maple Frisée

  • 45ml olive oil, divided

  • 120ml coarse fresh bread crumbs

  • 3/4 teaspoons grated lemon zest

  • 3/4 teaspoons anchovy paste

  • 1 (1-pound) head frisée, torn

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

How to make Sautéed Lemon Maple Frisée

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Cook bread crumbs until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in zest and a pinch of salt.

Wipe out skillet, then add anchovy paste and remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook 15 seconds. Increase heat to medium-high and sauté half of frisée until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add remaining frisée and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes more. Off heat, stir in juice, syrup, 1/8 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.

Serve topped with bread crumbs.
