Instructions

  1. Wash the chicory well, discard any damaged parts and cut into pieces. Blanch for 5 minutes in a large pot of salted boiling water.
  2. Drain the chicory carefully, pressing lightly to remove excess water.
  3. In a large pan, heat the olive oil with the thinly sliced garlic and the finely chopped chili over medium heat for 1 minute.
  4. Add the drained chicory and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat, until very tender and lightly golden.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then serve warm with bread.

Variations and tips
