Endive Roulades with Paris Ham: Elegant Recipe for Two


Ingredients for 2
  • 2 large or 4 medium endives
  • 4 thin slices rindless Paris ham
  • 80 g grated cheese
  • 15 cl semi-thick fresh cream
  • 1 teaspoon coarse Guérande salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan pepper
  • 16 freeze-dried pink berries
  • 1/2 teaspoon Indian curry
  • 8 g coarse salt


Preparation
  • Prep time: 15 minutes


Trim the endives and arrange them flat in a saucepan. Cover with water, add 8 g coarse salt, and top with an inverted plate to keep them submerged. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, depending on size.

Meanwhile, grind the Sichuan pepper, pink berries, Indian curry, and Guérande salt in a mortar until powdered.

In a bowl, combine the fresh cream with the spice mixture and stir until smooth.

Drain the endives and gently squeeze out excess water.

Lay a ham slice flat, place an endive at one end, and roll tightly. Repeat. Arrange the roulades in a baking dish, spaced apart. Drizzle with the spiced cream and top with grated cheese.

Bake at 180°C until golden and bubbly.

Serve piping hot with a fresh arugula or lamb's lettuce salad.
