This elegant vegetarian side dish pairs the slight bitterness of Belgian endives with the fresh crunch of haricots verts. By braising the endives in a mixture of lemon, butter, and stock, the vegetable caramelises beautifully, resulting in a sophisticated flavour profile that balances sweet and savoury notes. The use of a parchment lid, or cartouche, ensures the endives cook evenly while the liquid reduces into a glossy, citrus-infused glaze.

Perfect for a Sunday roast or as a light accompaniment to a midweek meal, these braised endives offer a refined alternative to standard leafy greens. This recipe is naturally low in calories and packed with fibre, making it a healthy choice for those seeking a nutritious, vegetable-forward dish that feels truly special. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the silky endives and crisp beans.

Ingredients for Braised Endives with Haricots Verts

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits, plus additional for greasing wax paper
230g haricots verts or other thin green beans, trimmed
4 Belgian endives (450g), trimmed, leaving leaves attached, and halved lengthwise
120ml de caldo de pollo bajo en sodio
1 cucharada de jugo de limón fresco
1 cucharadita de azúcar
1/4 cucharadita de sal

How to make Braised Endives with Haricots Verts

Cut out a round of wax paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet, then butter 1 side of round.

Fit endives, cut sides down, snugly in skillet. Add broth, lemon juice, butter bits, sugar, and salt, then cover endives with wax-paper round, buttered side down, and simmer until endives are tender and liquid is thickened and reduced to about a quarter of its original volume, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook beans in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then drain again.

Remove wax paper from endives, then gently stir in beans and cook until beans are just heated through, about 1 minute.
