    This is one of my favorite dishes in autumn: belgian endives (chicory) with meatballs.

    Ingredients (4 servings):

    • 8 belgian endives
    • 800 gr minced beef
    • breadcrumbs of 3 slices of white bread
    • 1 egg
    • 2 onions
    • 6 dl of beef broth
    • flour
    • butter
    • nutmeg
    • salt
    • pepper

    Method

    • Mix the minced meat with the breadcrumbs, the egg, pepper, salt and some nutmeg.
    • Roll meatballs out of it, cover them and put them in the refrigerator for app. 1 hour.
    • Before baking the meatballs roll them into the flower.
    • Melt the butter in a pan, and bake the meatballs shortly on each side.  Put them aside.
    • Remove the base of the chicory, and make a crosswise incision.
    • Melt the butter and bake the chicory shortly on all sides.
    • Add nutmeg, salt, pepper and the broth.
    • When the broth is cooking add the meatballs and let it simmer for app. 25 minutes.
    • Meanwhile cut the onions fine and bake them in the pan of the meatballs.
    • Add them to the chicory.
    • I cooked separately potatoes and added them for the last 5 minutes to the chicory and the meatballs to absorb the flavors.
