Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Trim the root end from each endive head, separate the leaves, and rinse and dry them well. Set aside the larger leaves for the bites and save the small inner leaves for another use.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pear and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly golden.

  3. Sprinkle the ground coriander over the pear and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool for about 5 minutes.

  4. Gently fold the diced feta cheese into the cooled pear mixture, taking care not to crush the cheese.

  5. Spoon a small amount of the pear and feta mixture into the hollow of each endive leaf.

  6. Arrange the filled endive on a platter and serve right away, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
