Instructions
- Place the endives, cut side down, in a large, heavy skillet. Strew the garlic over them, then season with salt and pepper. Pour the water around the endives.
- Place the skillet over medium high heat, and when the water begins to steam, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook until the endives are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Check them after about 5 minutes and turn, then check again after a few minutes to turn again to the cut side.
- When the endives are tender, remove the lid and continue cooking until the endives turn golden on the cut side, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve, or serve immediately. These are delicious hot, or at room temperature.
