French Fridays with Dorie: Caramelized endives and apples with raisins and walnuts | eat. live. travel. write.

This week’s French Fridays with Dorie (Endives, apples and grapes, p 338) was the type of simple dish that makes you wonder “Why didn’t I think of that?” Caramelised endives and apples with grapes sounds a little odd but it really works – the sweet of the apples against the bitter endives is a great combination. I didn’t have grapes on hand when I felt like making this so I figured I might try raisins (I soaked them in boiling water for about 10 minutes to soften them up) and I added a few walnuts for some extra texture. I also used thyme as opposed to the rosemary Dorie calls for and it worked well, thyme is more subtle than rosemary and it was great for this dish’s delicate flavours.
