Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1 navel orange
1 1/2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
2 Belgian endives

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill.

    Step 2

    With a vegetable peeler remove two 1 1/4- by 1/2-inch strips zest from orange and cut lengthwise into very thin strips. Squeeze enough juice from orange to measure 1 tablespoon. In a bowl whisk together zest, orange juice, vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well.

    Step 3

    Halve endives lengthwise, keeping halves from separating into leaves, and brush all over with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Season endives with salt and pepper and grill, cut sides down, on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 6 minutes. Turn endives and grill until just tender, 6 minutes more. (Alternatively, endives may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)

    Step 4

    Serve endives drizzled with vinaigrette.
