Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for finishing
  • 5 thick heads endive about 1½ pounds, trimmed, halved vertically
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
  • 1 pound scallops cleaned
  • Zest from 1 orange
  • 2 Tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 6 slices of toasted sourdough bread for serving, if desired

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400F/200C. Place the endive halves on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until the endive is caramelized and very tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Season scallops with salt and pepper to taste. Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Top the sourdough bread with endives and scallops, sprinkle with orange zest, parsley, and finish with extra virgin olive oil.
