| Endives, Apples and Grapes |
Last week I missed my FFWD recipe because, I just couldn’t get it done with all the activities going on in my life. This week however, knowing that we would be on the road Wednesday and Thursday, I made my Endive, Apples and Grapes on Tuesday for my lunch. I already knew my husband would not be partaking of this dish. After all these years, you just know things!
Since I’m a vegetable lover, I knew I would enjoy this one. Endives sliced in half, apples quartered, and a few small clusters of grapes…all sautéed in salted butter. Twenty minutes on one side, until nicely caramelized, then turn over and cook for another 20 minutes. The ease of this dish made it possible to pack, do laundry, clean out the fridge and still have a delicious lunch! I am looking forward to trying Dories’ Bonne Idée, with wedges of pumpkin or squash. She suggests warm maple syrup drizzled over the top with some toasted pecans. YUM!!
I really enjoyed this dish and I know I will be making it again. I also know it’s something I would not have tried if it wasn’t for Dorie! Happy Friday everyone!
This recipe can be found in Dorie Greenspans cookbook “Around My French Table” and you can also find it here. To see what my fellow Doristas are doing check it out here.

| Loved this dish…would really like to try it with the pumpkin or squash |
Looks good! I made it with squash and it was yummy!
ReplyDeleteSometimes its just so hard to keep up with Dorie but this was certainly one worth the effort. I went so fast with this I didn't even read the Bonne Idea but yes, squash would be good...especially with my beloved rosemary as the herb. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCaramelized vegetables and fruits are definitely a favorite of mine. They look so golden Kathy, just wonderful! Have a great time this week!
ReplyDeleteThey look perfectly done my friend, beautiful job :D

Your dish looks great as do the sound of your travels!
ReplyDeleteKathy, what a very lovely job with the apples, endives and grapes! It sounds like you are going to have such a wonderful time with your grand-children - I am sure that your son and daughter-in-law will enjoy their trip to EU, no matter which country did they chose.
ReplyDeleteWe really liked this dish as well - wasn´t it a lovely recipe?!
Have a good time!
Lovely pictures. Your dish looks delicious:) This one was a favorite of mine - especially the grapes. Have a great time with your grand kids:)
ReplyDeleteThis is totally new for me.. never heard of or had endive.. going to have to see what I have been missing since it looks picture perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I have to get myself one of those cast iron skillets pronto!!! The grapes were amazing weren't they? Have a great time with your family!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, so nice for you to spend time with your family...your children, and grandchildren. I can imagine the fun you had with them; as for me, its a 'daily' thing, and I do sleepovers on the weekend at their house sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love your simple creativity with the endives, apples, and grapes, which I would use it as a nice side dish with roasted chicken. I think the slight bitter taste of the endives, paired with the sweet grapes and apples tasted so perfect and really delicious:)
We really enjoyed this recipe and I can't wait to try it with the squash. It's amazing some of the combinations of ingredients
ReplyDeletethat Dorie uses and they all seem to work. Enjoy your time with the grandchildren, and I hope your son and daughter-in-law
enjoy their trip. So exciting. Have a good week.
Wow, looks really good!!!! And different from anything I had tried before!!! yummmm
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have tried this one either if not for FFwD. And, I liked it! Have a great trip, Kathy! Enjoy your grandchildren. So nice to have them to yourselves!
ReplyDeleteGreat planning getting in your post among your travels! Enjoy the visits!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely enjoy this one, we don't find much endives here though, and if I do, this simple recipe is something I would love to try... Have a safe trip!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy I'm so excited for your visit with your grand children. How wonderful!!! I was just visiting with mine on Facetime last night. Oh how I miss them. Enjoy each and every moment together!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for preparing such deliciousness before you go. It sure looks good!
Thank you so much for sharing...Have FUN!!!
Wow! It sounds like you are on the run, for sure.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done & enjoy those grandkids.
Sometimes it is hard to keep up with everything Kathy. I've given up and just do what works. Sounds like you've been busy with fun stuff! Having the grand kids to yourself is the nest!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have a wonderful time with your grandchildren Kathy! These vegetables look seriously appetizing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed. I think I could have predicted your hubby would not have like this...and I know you knew mine wouldn't either!!! Have fun with your grandchildren~
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are going to have so much fun with the grandkids and what an opportunity for their parents! They are very lucky to have you!!!
ReplyDeleteYour dish looks great!
If you liked the endives (as you seemed to), I can see the idea of adding maple and pecans as great! In fact, it makes me want to give this another shot, but I just cant get past the bitter endive... great job!
ReplyDeleteI also would not have tried this recipe if not for Dorie! Yours looks delicious!
