Turkey Endive Coconut Curry

Hello day 10 of the 12 Days of Endive!

Day 10, 12 Days of Endive

A big pot of turkey meatball and endive coconut curry recently made it’s way to the dinner table at our house.  We love curries in the Fuji household, and it’s unusual for us to have a week where some type of curry isn’t eaten.  It doesn’t matter if it’s Indian, Thai, Japanese, or any other type of curry—we love them all!  This particular curry is Thai inspired.  It is made up of tender turkey meatballs and bright juicy endive in a creamy coconut curry sauce, with a hint lemon.  It’s easy to make.

Endive: What’s in a name?

It’s day 9 of the 12 Days of Endive!

Day 9, 12 Days of Endive

Whether you call it California endive, Belgian endive, Brussels endive, French endive, endive, or witlof, these names are all synonymous for Cichorium endivia, the vegetable that I’ve been celebrating.  Whatever you call it, endive is rich in vitamins and minerals, especially folate, vitamins A and K, and is also high in fiber. Endive is also low in sodium.  In my mind, with those qualities on hand it is one amazing vegetable, no matter the name.  Though being the California girl that I am, I’m partial to the California variety!

Today is Day 5 of the 12 Days of Endive. It’s Friday, and I don’t know about you, but at the end of the day on Friday, my brain starts to shut off.  After a week of go, go, go, my brain says . . . nothing.  The beautiful thing about endive is that it [...]
