Whatever vessel you choose should have a tight-fitting lid. When the pan is hot, add the butter.\nWhile the butter melts, trim off and discard any browned bits from the ends of the endives and any bruised or browning exterior leaves.\nWhen the butter is melted, lay the endives in a single layer in the pan. Sprinkle them with the lemon juice and salt.\nPour the water down along the side of the pan (you don't want to wash off the salt you've just sprinkled on).\nIf you want to cut the bitterness in the final dish even further than the braising will do alone, sprinkle the endives with the sugar.\nCover the pan. You want a nice, tight fit with the lid. If steam is escaping, lay a piece of foil over the pan and then put on the lid. \nMethod 1:&nbsp;Reduce the heat to low. Let the endives cook, undisturbed, until they are very tender, about 30 minutes.\nMethod 2: put the pan in a 190C oven at this point and let them cook in there for 30 to 40 minutes instead of on the stove. (This method is also more likely to result in more evenly browned endives.\u200b)\nWhen the endives are very tender, remove the lid, return the pan to the stove if it's been in the oven, and cook over medium heat until any liquid in the pan evaporates and the endives start to brown.\nTurn the endives over and cook them until they are browned all over. (Note that if you added sugar in Step 6, you'll need to watch them quite carefully at this point, since the added sugar will make them brown more quickly.)\nServe them hot or warm.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=917"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":919,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917\/revisions\/919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.maisonamaureillas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
