Braised Endive and Red
Pepper Salad
2 red bell peppers
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 heads Belgian endive (about 1 pound),
trimmed and cut into 1-inch-pieces
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or
1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 scallions, trimmed and cut
into 1-inch pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar,
or 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
To prepare peppers, place them about 2 inches
below preheated broiler.
Broil peppers, turning them as their sides become scorched until their skin
has blistered all over. Transfer peppers to bowl and cover it with plastic
wrap, or put them in paper bag and fold it shut. The trapped steam will
make the peppers limp and loosen their skins - about 15 minutes. With a paring
knife peel off peppers' skins. Remove stems, ribs and seeds from peppers working
over a bowl to catch the juices. Strain pepper juices into another bowl and set
it aside. Slice peppers lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide,
2-inch-long strips and add them to the juices.
Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add endive
and thyme and cook mixture stirring constantly until endive begins to wilt -
about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, salt, scallions and some pepper, then cook
mixture 3 minutes more, stirring frequently. Add peppers and their juices and
the vinegar; cook 2 minutes. Scrape contents of skillet into
bowl and refrigerate until cool. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
