Endive Water Chestnut Salad Recipes

ENDIVE WATER CHESTNUT SALAD

Steps:

• For the honey-glazed walnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Place the walnuts on a baking tray. Drizzle the honey over the walnuts, season with cayenne and salt.
• Bake in the oven until walnuts are golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
• For the endive and water chestnut salad: Put the endives, water chestnuts and chile in a bowl. Add the honey, white wine vinegar and lime juice, gently toss to coat. Season the salad with salt. Garnish with the honey-glazed walnuts.

BACON-WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS

Steps:

• Combine the water chestnuts and soy sauce in a resealable plastic bag and let marinate at room temperature, tossing and massaging the bag occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap each water chestnut in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Set a cooling rack into a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on top. Bake until the bacon renders its fat and is crisp, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup water in a bowl to make a sauce.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully lift the cooling rack off the baking sheet. Drain away any fat in the baking sheet and wipe dry with paper towels. Line the baking sheet with foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to the bowl with the sauce, swirling to fully coat, then spread out on the baking sheet.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake, tossing every few minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a sticky glaze, about 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve while hot.
