In France, especially in south-western Provence, endives or Belgian endives are roasted in this way and served with roast lamb or beef.

Procedure:

1. Slowly melt half of the butter in a small frying pan and fry the finely chopped onion and diced smoked meat, set aside for later use
2. Put the remaining half of the butter in the pot, add the radicchio, season it with salt and pepper, then pour in some of the chicken stock and white wine and cover it
3. Simmer over a low heat, after a while turn the radicchio buds over and simmer them on the other side, baste with more stock mixed with wine as needed
4. Towards the end of the stewing process, remove the lid so that the radicchio browns slightly and the juice is reduced by half
5. At this stage, add the previously prepared fried onions and the smoked meat, let everything come to the boil
6. Finally, drizzle the stewed Vegetable Recipes with lemon juice, season again lightly, add salt if necessary and serve immediately.
