Instructions

  1. Halve the chicory lengthways and cut out the bottom stalk in a wedge shape so that the leaves still stick together. Sweat the onion in the heated butter. Add the chicory halves, pour in the Noilly Prat and white wine and bring to the boil.
  2. Add the saffron, green pepper (the whole grains, rinsed well) and cream and cover the vegetables and braise for 12-15 minutes until soft. Add the tarragon approx. 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time and cook briefly. Season to taste with salt and possibly pepper.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
