How do you serve chicory?

Answer 1

Serve in a salad with many added flavours. It is important to complement the bitterness without masking it. A basic vinaigrette with wine vinegar, mustard, honey and good quality olive oil is ample. Also complemented well by roasted beets, citrus fruits, nuts, and salty cheeses.

Answer 2

Chicory plants are available and harvested during spring and summer by cutting off just below the rosette. Chicory greens may be eaten as a salad or cooked. Young chicory leaves are used for salads while the matured leaves are cooked with other vegetables. A common salad in Italy, puntarelle, is made with chicory greens. Roots are dug up, washed and roasted until they turned dark brown. The roots are powdered and brewed like coffee.

Answer 3

just like spinich, boil it. You can saute it in a little oil and garlic.

Answer 4

of course!
