There are two smells that remind me of my paternal granny. The smell of steaming artichokes and that of boiling chicory.
Chicory is particularly tasty with ham and as I knew I’d have left overs I figured I would get some in for over the Christmas.
I’d a bitta ham left tonight and so I made this dinner.
Ingredients:
2 chicories, 1 table spoon of crushed pepper, one handful of grated cheese, left over ham for the side.
Method:
Cut the core and remove the brown looking outter leaves. Halve the chicories and plunge them in boiling water for 10 min.
Rinse and drain.
Put in a pan on medium with a tiny bit of oil and sprinkle extremely generously with the pepper.
Leave it for a good 5 to 7 min and add your handful of grated cheese (I’ve got bit hands).
Let it melt down for another 2 minutes and serve with your ham. Delicious!
