Greens to Grill

While this recipe is made in a skillet over a stove, there’s no reason you can’t take it outside to the grill as the weather warms up. Seared endive is a perfect side for any grilled meat or vegetable main course. Try pairing it with marinated chicken or as a topping for portobello burgers.
