"There’s no better recipe for experiencing the softer, butterier, and incomparably less bitter side of endive than this rich gratin inspired by a recipe from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The light braise in vegetable broth and apple juice (feel free to use one or the other if you aren’t keen on the combination of both) is a must to create that tenderness needed in the endive, so don’t skip that step!"
