Preparation instructions

Temp: Temperature:

# Blanching the chicory
Cut off about 3/8 in or 1 cm from the stalk-end. Then cut out the hard stalk in a cone shape. Be sure to keep the chicory intact.
If necessary, remove the outer leaves. 
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the lemon juice,  salt, butter and finally the chicory.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to low and gently simmer for about 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the chicory from the pot. It's best to use a skimmer or tongs for this.
Let drain thoroughly. You can stand them in a sieve and keep them there for several hours. This is a great option especially if you're having guests, as there's not much more prep to do after this.

# Preparing the chicory rolls
Butter an oven-proof dish large enough to fit all chicories on the bottom.
Wrap each chicory in a slice of ham and add it to the casserole.
Top with grated cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and browned, perhaps 20 minutes.
The chicory will lose some water while baking. It will combine with some of the cheese to form a delicious sauce.

You can serve this as it or with a side of potatoes or roasted tomatoes.
