Chicory recipes

Chicory is a star of the seasonal calendar. This winter vegetable, with its beautiful two-tone leaves of white with dark red or yellow tips, is usually in season from January to March.

Try out one of our chicory recipes to see how versatile this veggie can be. Crisp chicory leaves, with their bitter notes, work beautifully in winter salads and starters, like Rosie Mackean’s brown shrimp, chicory and blood orange salad.

Cooking chicory mellows out its bitterness and brings out hints of sweetness. Try it baked with ham or caramelised in this chicken orzo one-pot.
