Gluten-Free Cedar Plank–Roasted Salmon with Apricot Glaze, Roasted Stone Fruit, and Green Beans Recipe

 

Print

The beauty of cooking salmon on cedar planks (available at most high-end grocers) is that it’s amazingly easy, the wood imparts subtle smoky flavor, and it looks downright gourmet. To do it right, you’ll need two cedar planks, soaked in advance, so plan accordingly.
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 5 fresh apricots plums, or pluots, or 2 fresh peaches or other stone fruit, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free brown rice miso
  • 1 tablespoon GF Dijon mustard
  • 1⁄2 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • Zest and juice of 1 mandarin orange or satsuma tangerine
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed and halved lengthwise on a diagonal
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 8-ounce salmon steaks or 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1⁄4 cup fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Soak 2 cedar planks in water for 4 hours or overnight in a half-sheet pan or other rimmed roasting pan.
  2. Preheat oven to 500°F. In a blender or food processor, combine 2 apricot halves (or 1 peach half), the miso, mustard, apricot preserves, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes and blend until smooth.
  3. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the green beans for 2 minutes, then immediately chill in a bowl of ice water. Drain and place in a large bowl. Toss with 6 tablespoons of the blended apricot glaze and the olive oil. Reserve.
  4. Put the soaked cedar planks on a baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the planks and pan from the oven. Remove the planks from the pan and quickly divide the salmon and the remaining stone fruit halves, cut sides up, onto the planks. Slather the salmon and apricots generously with the remaining glaze, place the planks directly on the oven rack, and roast 12 to 16 minutes, depending on the salmon’s thickness, until it’s just cooked through and the apricots are soft. Divide the green beans among 4 plates. Coarsely chop the roasted apricots and sprinkle them over the beans, top with a piece of salmon, sprinkle with torn mint leaves, and serve.
Gluten-Free Chilled English Pea Soup with Yogurt and Mint Recipe

 

Print

This gluten-free chilled pea soup recipe by Niki Ford is as much a delight as it is a cooking lesson. Though it’s simple, clean, and bright, critical steps are taken to elevate and intensify the earthy sweetness of the English pea: a pea pod stock is made to add a deep layer of pea flavor, quick cooking and cooling preserve the brilliant flavor and color of the peas, and thorough blending and straining provide a compelling, silky texture. A finishing dollop of yogurt lends tart contrast, lift, and a bit of much-needed fat to a fabulously elegant dish perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or a first course. FYI, you can make the pea stock up to 2 days in advance.

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds fresh English peas in their pods
  • 3 sprigs of flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup white and light part of leeks thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Shell the peas, reserving the peas and pods separately. In a large pot over high heat, bring the pods, parsley, onion, and 10 cups cold water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Strain the pea stock through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the leeks and let them sizzle for a minute, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cook until soft and tender, approximately 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a few tablespoons of water if needed to avoid browning (which will affect the flavor and color).
  4. Add the peas and 2 cups of pea stock to the sauté pan. Turn the heat to high, bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until the peas are just tender, approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Purée the peas and their cooking liquid in a blender until smooth, transfer to a large bowl, add 2 additional cups of the remaining pea stock, and stir to combine. If needed, add more stock until the texture of the soup is creamy and not too thick. For the silkiest texture, pass the soup through a mesh sieve. (If your blender is powerful, skip this step.) Set the bowl of soup in a larger bowl of ice water to cool, stirring occasionally, to preserve the bright green color. Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Season to taste with salt.
  6. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a generous spoonful of yogurt and a sprinkle of mint.

Gluten-Free Roasted Asparagus and Oat Berry Salad with Feta, Almonds, and Mint Recipe

 

Print

Bright, roasty, chewy, crunchy, herby, creamy, tangy—this addictive whole grain salad by Niki Ford has it all. Part spring tonic and all pleasure with lively flavor accents from feta, almonds, and an abundance of fresh herbs, it’s versatile enough to serve as a substantial vegetarian lunch or act as picnic provisions or a side dish for a larger meal. Oat berries, or whole oat groats, which have the same satisfying chewy meatiness of farro, minus the gluten, can be difficult to find. Look for them in health food stores or order them easily online.

Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free oat berries oat groats
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus tough ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons toasted almonds coarsely chopped
  • 4 small green onions outer layer removed and thinly sliced
  • 1⁄2 cup flat-leaf parsley coarsely chopped
  • 1⁄2 cup mint roughly chopped
  • 3⁄4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic pounded into a paste, finely grated, or pressed
  • 3 tablespoons good-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring 7 cups of water, the oat berries, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt to a boil in a large pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the oats until tender, about 12 to 14 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the oats rest in the hot water for 10 minutes. (It’s okay if some of them burst during the cooking process.) Drain the oat berries and spread out on a baking sheet to cool. Reserve.

  2. Slice the asparagus, at a diagonal, into two-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss the asparagus with the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Spread the asparagus on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned and tender. Reserve.

  3. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic, and then whisk in the olive oil.

  4. In a serving bowl, toss the oat berries, asparagus, almonds, green onions, parsley, and mint with the vinaigrette. Salt to taste, top with the crumbled feta, and serve.

Gluten-Free Charred Radish, Pepper, and Garbanzo Bean Salad with Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe

 

Print

Some salads are special. This one by James Beard Award-nominated San Francisco chef Melissa Perello is one of them. Make it and be blown away by the layered flavors of charred beans and veggies, citrus dressing, and sesame. And good thing the recipe makes extra vinaigrette, because you’re going to want it. (Store it in the fridge for up to a month.) Can’t find preserved lemon? Substitute 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Also, note that while you can replace the dried garbanzos with canned beans, dried will give you better crunch and flavor, though they do require soaking for two days in advance.

Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces dried garbanzo beans
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 small sweet peppers such as Jimmy Nardello, Corno di Toro, or red Fresno or 1 red bell pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • 10 radishes halved
  • 10 cups mixed green lettuces such as baby kale, purslane, and mizuna
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 Persian cucumbers or 1 medium cucumber sliced into 1-inch rounds and quartered
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 preserved lemon available at gourmet grocers and Middle Eastern markets
  • 1⁄2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Soak the garbanzo beans in water at room temperature for two days, drain, and reserve in the fridge.
  2. Make the Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette: Combine the vinaigrette ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth, and reserve.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Carefully add the peppers and blister, flipping as the skin chars, until slightly blackened and wilting, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, season with salt, and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool, trim and discard the stems and seeds, and cut into 2-inch pieces. Using the same pan over high heat, add the radishes, cut sides down, and char for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden. Flip and char the other sides for 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl with a slotted spoon. With the heat still on high, add and char the garbanzos, stirring as they blacken, about 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl and reserve.
  4. Place the mixed greens, parsley, mint, and cilantro in a large serving bowl. Stir the vinaigrette, add to taste, toss the salad to coat, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the peppers, cucumbers, radishes, and garbanzos, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.

Gluten-Free Broiled Chicken with Braised Greens Recipe

 

Print

A quick broil and a slow cook of the chicken result in fabulously crispy skin and tender meat. Braising the greens in the chicken’s juices adds savory goodness, too. You can have your butcher debone the chicken, do it yourself, or cook the chicken bone-in.
Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard center ribs removed and leaves chopped (about 6 cups)
  • Lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Place the chicken in an ovenproof skillet, season generously with salt, and broil 12 inches from the heat source until the skin is crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Turn on the oven to 250°F and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Using potholders, transfer the skillet to the stovetop. Immediately transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the juices in the skillet. Add the shallot and chard to the skillet, stir, cover, and cook over medium heat until the greens are wilted, 4 minutes. Divide the greens between 2 plates, top each with a chicken thigh, and serve with lemon wedges.

Gluten-Free Grilled Corn and Portobello Tacos with Avocado “Cream” Recipe

 

Print

With no gluten, meat, dairy, soy, or nuts, this lively dish by one of our favorite food bloggers, Beth Manos Brickey of Tasty Yummies, is free of everything—except flavor. The mushrooms and corn are grilled, but they can easily be prepared in the kitchen: Cut the marinade-coated portobellos into 1⁄4-inch-thick strips and cook them in a large pan over medium-high heat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes; cook foil-wrapped ears of corn on a baking sheet in a preheated 450ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 cup olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free chili powder
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 ears corn husked
  • 4 portobello mushrooms stemmed
  • 8 gluten-free corn tortillas warmed
  • Shredded red cabbage or lettuce for garnish
  • Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish 3⁄4 cup Avocado "Cream" (below) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat, about 450ºF.
  2. Whisk together oil, cumin, chili powder, lime zest and juice, garlic, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Cut 2 squares of aluminum foil large enough to fully wrap an ear of corn. Place 1 ear of corn on each square. Drizzle a small amount of the marinade over each ear, rub to evenly coat, and wrap tightly in the foil. Coat the mushrooms with the remaining marinade.
  4. Grill the foil-wrapped corn for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. While the corn is cooking, grill the mushrooms for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the corn and the mushrooms to a cutting board to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs and slice the mushrooms into 1⁄4-inch-thick strips.
  5. Top the warm corn tortillas with the mushroom strips, corn kernels, cabbage, cilantro, green onions, and avocado cream and serve.

Gluten-Free Chicken, Mango, and Avocado Salad with Candied Pecans Recipe

In partnership with CA Grown

Print

Our editor, Erika Lenkert, crafted this recipe after enjoying something like it at a restaurant in San Francisco. When salad is just the thing for dinner, you’ll find great satisfaction in its sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, which leverage deliciously fresh mango and avocado that we can get nearly all year round thanks to California growers. 

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon GF Dijon mustard
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 firm-ripe mango peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 1⁄2 cups shredded cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pecans, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts begin to turn a deep brown, around 5 minutes. Sprinkle the nuts with 1 tablespoon sugar and the cayenne and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Immediately transfer nuts to a piece of parchment paper to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Add the greens, avocado, mango, and chicken and toss to coat. Transfer to 4 serving plates, top with the spiced nuts, and serve.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Tzatziki Salsa and Smashed Potatoes

We developed a culinary crush on Food By Mars blogger Alison Marras when we discovered her gorgeous, pure recipes seasoned with astrological flavor. This, her Greek-American GF/DF dish, reflects why she’s worthy of adoration. Light in everything but flavor and pleasure, it’s fast, healthy, and delicious with a genius coconut milk–based tzatziki salsa.
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 8 single lamb chops
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
  • 20 baby potatoes
  • 1 medium cucumber peeled, halved, seeds discarded, and coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh or dried dill
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk any other non-dairy milk, or plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon canola or safflower oil

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb chops with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  2. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until a fork easily pierces the middle, about 8 to 15 minutes depending on size. Drain and reserve.
  3. Make the salsa: combine cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and coconut milk in a food processor or blender and pulse until it resembles a pale salsa verde. Set aside.
  4. Heat the oil in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the lamb chops. (They should sizzle.) Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 5 minutes per side for medium.
  5. Divide the potatoes evenly among 4 dinner plates, smash them gently with a fork, top with 2 lamb chops, drizzle with the salsa, finish with a generous sprinkling of salt, and serve immediately.

Gluten-Free Pan-Seared Halibut with Brown Butter and Hazelnuts Recipe

 

Print

This fish recipe, inspired by Shauna Ahern’s story in this issue (page 85), can also be made with pork or boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 6- to 8-ounce halibut fillets, skin on, patted dry
  • 1⁄2 cup sweet rice flour
  • 10 ounces green beans or haricots verts trimmed
  • 3⁄4 cup whole hazelnuts chopped
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, Dijon mustard, and pepper. Add the halibut, coat evenly, and marinate for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the halibut from the marinade and dredge each fillet in sweet rice flour. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the 4 teaspoons olive oil. When the oil is very hot, sear the fish on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total, then put the pan and fish, skin-side down, in the oven, and finish cooking, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the green beans in boiling water until al dente, about 2 to 4 minutes.
  4. Carefully wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and return it to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the butter and hazelnuts. When the butter turns chestnut brown, about 3 to 5 minutes, add the lemon juice. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Divide the fish and green beans among 4 dinner plates, drizzle the brown butter and hazelnuts on top, garnish each with a lemon wedge, and serve.

Savory Black Beans Recipe

 

Print

Garlic, onion, cumin, and slow simmering in chicken broth results in black beans that are so luscious and delicious, they’re good enough to eat solo. But serve them over rice and top with avocado and cilantro and you’ve got a wholesome dream dish. Bonus: you don’t have to soak the beans overnight!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried black beans
  • Kosher salt
  • About 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine the black beans, 5 cups water, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain.
  2. Return the beans to the pot. Add 31/2 cups of the broth, the onion, cumin, garlic, bay leaf, and olive oil. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if the broth reduces too quickly, until the beans are soft but not falling apart and the broth has reduced almost entirely, about 70 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf, season to taste with salt, and serve.

Gluten Free Black Bean Taquitos Recipe

Divine in
 flavor and crunch, these soul- satisfying vegan taquitos by Kate Ramos of Hola Jalapeno have a filling tasty enough to serve as its own side dish. For easiest prep, use tortillas fresh from the store that haven’t been refrigerated. Serve taquitos with guacamole. Note: This recipe calls for toothpicks.

Print

Gluten-Free Black Bean Taquitos


Servings 12 taquitos

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for frying
  • 1 small white onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced

  • 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, undrained
  • 12 6-inch gluten-free corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium- high heat, warm the 2 tablespoons
oil. When shimmering, add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder and stir for 1 minute. 

  2. Add the black beans with the can's juices. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are thick, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately mash the beans with a potato masher until most are mashed and the mixture is thick. Season to taste with salt. Let cool slightly.

  3. Heat a cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas one at a time until they are very flexible, about 1 minute per side, then immediately wrap them tightly in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm so they don’t cool and break when you try to roll them.
  4. In a large, deep frying pan over medium heat, pour enough oil to reach 1 inch up the side of the pan. Heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer reads 350°F, about 10 minutes. If you don’t have a thermometer, the oil is ready when a small cube of GF bread browns in the oil in 30 seconds.
  5. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels and set near the stove. Arrange 4 of the warm tortillas on a clean work surface. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the bean mixture to the bottom third of each tortilla. Gently
roll the tortilla up over the filling into
a tight cylinder. Using a toothpick, gently fasten the flap of the overlapped tortilla to the rest of the tortilla like a sewing stitch.
  6. Working in batches of 4 to avoid crowding, carefully place the taquitos
in the hot oil, toothpick side down,
and fry until brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side, about 1 minute longer. Remove with tongs to the prepared baking sheet and repeat. Remove the toothpicks and serve immediately.

White Caesar Salad Recipe

 

Print

This show-stopping salad by our friends at San Francisco's amazing Foreign Cinema restaurant celebrates winter greens and one of the best Caesar dressings we’ve had. If escarole isn’t available, sub radicchio. Or just go with good old romaine, if you like. Don’t be afraid to use the raw egg in the dressing—just be sure it's fresh, make the dressing right before you serve it, and eat the salad within an hour of when you serve it. Also, the dressing is still outstanding without the cheese, so confidently omit it if you're dairy-free. 

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 small head frisée
  • 1 head escarole preferably with yellow-green center leaves
  • 3 heads Belgian endive
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic mashed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped anchovies
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove and discard the tough outer leaves of the frisée and escarole to use their tender, sweeter pale center leaves. Wash and dry, then chop or tear into bite-size pieces and place in a bowl. Trim off the bases of the Belgian endives to free the leaves and add the leaves whole to the bowl. Cover with a paper towels and refrigerate until use.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg vigorously, then whisk in the olive oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, vinegar, cheese, and pepper, creating a thick but not emulsified dressing. Pour the dressing over the greens and toss thoroughly, using your hands to help coat the leaves if necessary. Season to taste with salt.
  3. Arrange the salad on a cold serving platter, grate more cheese over the top, and serve right away.

Gluten-Free Pancetta-Wrapped Endive with Anchovy and Saba Recipe

 

Print

The key to styling this dish by San Francisco chef Craig Stoll look is the cooperation of the pancetta, so make sure to get slices that are thin, yet thick enough to hold together when you wrap them around the endive. (They’ll taste good no matter what.) Also, for easy handling, store the slices in the fridge until use. The garnish, saba, is a delicious thick, reduced, unfermented grape juice that tastes like a non-acidic balsamic vinegar reduction. Whether you try the saba or skip it, this recipe is wonderful. Heads up: You will need 32 toothpicks.

Servings 16 Pancetta-wrapped Endives

Ingredients

  • 4 large Belgian endives
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 3 anchovy fillets
  • 1 cup toasted gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 10 ounces thinly sliced pancetta or bacon chilled
  • 1 tablespoon saba for garnish (optional; available at Italian grocers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut endive in quarters from stem to tip. Arrange, cut side up, in a shallow sauté pan. Spread the leaves gently and season with salt, and then flip them over so the open leaves face downward. Smash 1 clove of garlic with the side of a knife and add it to the pan along with the bay leaf, wine, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the pan with aluminum foil or a lid, bring to a boil, and immediately transfer to the oven. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the endive is tender but not mushy. Remove from the oven, uncover the pan, and cool.

  2. Combine 1 clove of garlic and the anchovies in a food processor and pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the breadcrumbs and a generous pinch of salt and pulse to incorporate.

  3. Preheat the broiler. Blot the cooled endives with a paper towel. Place one endive, outer leaves down, in the palm of one hand. Gently spread open the leaves, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the breadcrumb mixture into the leaves, and set on a baking sheet. Repeat with all the endive, then tightly wrap 1 slice of pancetta around each endive.

  4. Run 2 toothpicks through each endive, 1 toward the base and 1 farther up, to help them maintain their shape while cooking.

  5. Cook the wrapped endives under the broiler until the pancetta browns on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook 5 minutes more. Remove the toothpicks, arrange the pieces on a platter, drizzle with saba, and serve.
