Ingredients
  • 6 heads endive (red, white, or a combination), halved lengthwise through the root end
  • For the marinade:
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons dried lavender flowers (optional)
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • ¾ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large non-metallic bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Add the endive and toss. Set aside at room temperature to marinate, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare a grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill the endive cut side down until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes depending on your grill. Turn, brush with any remaining marinade, and cook until crisp-tender and lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes depending on your grill. Serve warm.
