Thanks for sharing the recipe and photos of endive.  We had some radicchio with dinner last night.  Grazie

This looks nice. I have never tried endive but now I know what I could cook with it. Thanks.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thought I'd let you know that endive is an acquired taste, I grew up with it and I LOVE the taste but no-one else in my family does  .... it is bitter! There is possibly a way to reduce the bitterness but my mum didn't teach me that because we like bitter. :D :D I'm going to have to find someone to share this recipe with ... anyone live near Kyneton who loves the taste of Endive?  :) Thanks for the recipe Solare as soon as I find someone to share this with I'll let you know what we thought of it.

I never had endive steamed. Maybe I should try, I love it raw with with oranges and walnuts in a salad. Thank you Solare.

It is not necessary to wash the endive, just clean the outside with a wet towel. Never soak it because it gets bitter. Prepare right before use to avoid discolouration. To reduce the bitterness, cut off a small cone of about 2,5 cm from the bottom.

Afraid i love the bitterness.  I think that Italians have some saying about keeping bitter things for themselves because they like them so much.

Endive cut in half and sprinkled with some oil and sugar and placed on a griddle to caramelise - that is the way i love best.
