Method

Put a large griddle pan over a medium heat (see tip). Cut the yellow chicory lengthways into 6 and the red chicory into 4. Rub each piece with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
When the griddle pan is hot, cook the chicory, turning to char on all sides. The leaves should be slightly blackened and the stalks just tender but with a little crunch.
Arrange the chicory in a large serving dish, then squeeze over some lemon juice and drizzle over the pomegranate molasses. This dish is fantastic eaten warm or at room temperature.
