Background

Chicory is normally used raw in salads but it’s really delicious roasted or grilled too! This baked chicory and red onion really complements roast meat (particularly pork & lamb), so it’s an ideal side dish for a Sunday lunch or roast dinner. You can use white or red chicory.

Ingredients

4 heads of chicory
3 red onions
2 Tbsp light muscovado sugar
½ tsp chilli flakes
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cut the chicory in half in half lengthwise. Peel the onions and cut them into thin wedges.
Arrange the chicory halves neatly in a baking tray, then scatter the onion wedges around them.
Sprinkle with the sugar and chilli flakes, then drizzle with vinegar and oil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the sugar is caramelized.
Serve warm.
