20 mins
A delicious italian chicory with anchovies and buttermilk dressing recipe.
Easy
Ingredients
1 Italian chicory (Puntarelle)
Salt
Cracked pepper
Iced water
1 small tin of good quality anchovies
Oregano from the garden
The dressing - place all ingredients into a jar and shake ….
150ml buttermilk
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Method
Remove leaves and stalks (these can be a little bitter, keep them as I’m going to make a green goddess sauce with them)
You will be left with the little bulbs- remove the base and peel back a centimetre of the outer layer - this exposes the sweeter part of the chicory
Slice into thin batons and soak in salty iced water for about 10mins
Remove and drain the excess water - leave to the side to dry
Mix dressing - while your chicory is in iced water.
Coat chicory with buttermilk dressing
Finish with some good quality anchovies and oregano from the garden.
