Ingredients

4 Belgian endives
2 Oranges
60 g Fresh robiola
20 g Fresh cream
20 g Sugar
20 g Pistachio granules
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, to taste

Proceedings

Proceed first with the preparation of the orange sauce: cut the oranges into cubes, pour them into a saucepan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and the sugar.

Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, until the orange breaks down and the sauce thickens slightly.

In a bowl, whip the Robiola cheese with the fresh cream until you obtain a light mousse.

Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Preheat the oven with the bbq grill at level 1 for about 9 minutes at a temperature of 250°.

Cut the endive in half lengthwise, and cook it on the bbq grill 3 minutes per side.

Place the endive on the plate, dress with the orange sauce, clumps of Robiola cheese and pistachio grains.

Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
