Braised endives, citrus fruit and gingerbread
Recipe by Inaki Aizpitarte
(4 people)
4 healthy endives, 2 white grapefruit, 2 pink grapefruit, 4 oranges, 300 g of
unsliced gingerbread, 5 cl olive oil, salt, ground pepper
Take off the gingerbread crust and cut into fine slices. Dry these bread fingers
in an oven at 80°C. Place the rest of the gingerbread in the oven to dry
and then crumble into a powder. Set aside.
Wash the grapefruit and orange segments. Put in the refrigerator. Peal the 2
oranges and cut them in cubes. Put the clean endives into a cast iron casserole
dish and add a little water, salt, sugar and the oranges in cubes. On a low
fire, or in an oven at 130° C, candy the endives for around 2 to 3 hours.
Put the citrus fruit in a salad bowl and add olive oil, a pinch of salt and
a little ground pepper. Arrange the citrus fruit salad in soup dishes. Place
a warm endive on top of the salad and decorate with the gingerbread fingers.
Sprinkle the gingerbread powder around the corner of the plate.
