Quick Sauteed Endive, Escarole, and Frisée

This vibrant sautéed endive, escarole and frisée dish is a sophisticated vegan side that brings a delightful balance of bitter and bright flavours to the table. By quickly wilting the sturdy chicory leaves in high-quality olive oil, you soften their sharp edge while maintaining a satisfying texture. The addition of fresh lemon juice at the final moment provides a zesty lift that cuts through the richness of the oil, making it a perfect accompaniment to roasted root vegetables or a hearty grain salad.

Ideal for those seeking a quick and healthy addition to a midweek meal, this recipe celebrates seasonal winter greens in a simple yet elegant way. It is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients, offering a refreshing alternative to standard steamed greens. Serve it immediately while the leaves are glossy and warm for the best colour and flavour.
