Ingredients
• 2 lb (1 kg) chicory
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 onions, sliced into thin rings
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 5 garlic cloves
Preparation
• Remove the outer yellow leaves from the chicory, then wash and shred crosswise, very finely.
• Immerse the shredded leaves in hot water for 2 minutes. • When almost tender, remove the leaves and squeeze out excess water between the palms of the hand.
• Set aside to cool.
• Fry the onion rings in oil until golden.
• Remove the onions from the oil and place the chicory in the same oil with the crushed garlic and salt.
• Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Pour some lemon juice over it and serve cold, garnished with the fried onions rings.
Additional Notes
Its a good idea to have multiple pans going at one time to make the cook ... otherwise the 2 hours could turn into a half a day. :)
