Stuffed Endive

I wanted a simple dish, I tried to combine the endive, which I love, with Concita’s ricotta cheese.
The marriage is perfect.

Ingredients:
2 heads of endive
100 gr Concita’s ricotta
1 tsp turmeric
dried ginger
extra virgin olive oil
salt

Method:
Cut the endive in half, remove the wasted external leaves. Gently wash it, without removing the leaves.
Excavate the inside by removing the core.
In a chopper, finely chop the removed parts, add ricotta, turmeric, a little ginger and spices.
Chop to combine the ingredients.
Stuff the endive.
In a baking dish, arrange the stuffed heads of endive, season lightly with a little olive oil.
Pour some water at the bottom of the pyrex dish. Cover with an aluminium foil and bake at 180°C for 15 min. Uncover, check, if necessary bake a few minutes more or put in the oven again for 5 min more, uncovered, and let it brown slightly.
Just removed from the oven

Comment:
A quick dish, light, but tasty, a nice contrast the aroma of turmeric with the bitter of endive.
