Stuffed Endive
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
This recipe can work well as an appetizer or a mid-day snack. The stuffed leaves contain few calories, but are satiating thanks to their lean protein and fiber content. In addition, they provide calcium, plenty of vitamin C and provitamin A.
If you would like it mild, you should carefully cut out the bitter stalk of chicory. The red-stemmed varieties taste more mild, as they are a cross between red radicchio and white chicory.
