Whoever invented
the all-you-can-eat salad bar deserves to have their urethra
massaged with shards of glass. In their rush to feed millions
of greasy bargain-hunting patrons, they forgot about the majestic
endive. The endive's bitter taste isn't for everyone, but
it is for everyone who is ANYONE. The chemicals that produce
the bitter flavor are considered by many to be an aphrodisiac…
2 or 3 nice
size Belgium endives
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 cup of crumbled aged good goat cheese
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon of 100 year old balsamic
vinegar (or if you’re poor, save up and use 25
year old)
3 spoons of olive oil
Reserve a
few (six) endive leaves and put on
plates in a star pattern.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the vinegar
with the olive oil.
Julienne (if you don’t know what julienne
means…well, that’s your problem. Look it
up, genius.) the rest of the endive leaves
and toss with the parsley, goat cheese and
walnuts.
Arrange the
reserved endive leaves on two
plates and display the tossed mixture on
them. Sprinkle with the dressing and serve.
Serves two.
