Holiday Endive Boats

It's hard to believe that it's the Holiday season once again! I love cooking with my son, especially for the holidays! Our recipe this month, is a fun appetizer using endive! My son had endive for an appetizer at a restaurant recently and wanted to create his own version at home. Endive is a green leafy vegetable and a member of the chicory family, which includes radicchio, escarole, frisee and curly endive. It has a crisp texture and a sweet, nutty flavor with a pleasantly mild bitterness. It is great served raw or cooked. Endive is a great source of potassium, fiber and Vitamins A and C.​
