Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas 6. Place the chicory in an ovenproof dish. Mix together the orange rind and juice, oil and thyme. Drizzle over the chicory then season with plenty of black pepper.

Step 2

Cook for 25-30 minutes until tender and beginning to char. Toss together with the orange segments and serve drizzled with any cooking liquid and the orange zest. Cool a little or chill before serving.

Recipe tips

Chicory has a slightly bitter flavour which complements the sweetness of the orange.
Look out for red chicory which has a similar flavour with a great colour.
