Today I am presenting an other Recipe from the “Vegan Lovestory” Cook book by Hiltl and Tibits.

Baked glazed Chicory topped with Blood Orange fillets 

I really enjoyed this beautiful side dish (even though it looks more beautiful before baking. Maybe next time I poor the sauce over the Chicory and then layer the Oranges on top….) And look at the color of the Oranges!!!!

A very fast prepared dish with simple ingredients, yet a combination you don’t eat a lot. A little bit of Sweet, Bitter, Sour and Salty. Have a try! You won’t regret!

Love, Emily
