Chicory au Gratin
Pane-bistecca
Winter vegetables….. I love them! And especially this hearty Chicory au Gratin!
This chicory casserole is one of my top winter favorites! You can make much more out of it than just salad. Here I have a recipe for a Chicory Soup, it tastes really delicious. You can make a roasted Chichory, You can steam it and so on or use it as a Salad.
But today I want to present my baked chicory.
