I consider European vegetables like endives and artichokes to be exotic. When I was growing up, I did not even know these vegetables existed, let alone find them. My initial thought when I saw endives were that they are baby Napa cabbage. While Napa cabbage is seldom eaten raw except when pickled, endives are often served raw.

The shape of endive leaves lend themselves very well as little “boats” for a variety of stuffing. The leaves are refreshingly crisp and crunchy with a slight bitter after taste that is not at all unpleasant. Their diminutive size makes them ideal for appetizers since they can be easily held and eaten.

For the stuffing, I have decided to combine the slightly salty lox (cured salmon) with 1/3 fat cream cheese. The finely chopped toasted pistachios provide additional texture and the curly parsley gives a contrast of colors.

    Endives or “witloof” in Dutch is very popular in Belgium. You made them look so pretty 🙂

    When my boys were very young, they disliked this veg, because it has a slight bitterness. They like it now when it’s eaten raw, like what you have done here, as well as in soup, garnished with crispy bacon 🙂

      Witloof…what a cute name for this vegetable! Good thing my youngest son enjoyed this dish. I think he will like it even better if I added some bacon chips. 🙂

    Endive and smoked salmon are such a wonderful combination, and the pistachio cream cheese is a brilliant idea!
