Chicory lettuce is also delicious in combination with pieces of walnut and raisin. Chicory can be cooked, but do it shortly because otherwise the phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals will evaporate. Grilled chicory is also tasty. Put some young Dutch cheese on the uncut chicory and grill it in the oven until the cheese has melted. What you can also do is then add a crumbled rusk with a few extra slices of cheese. You put it back in the oven for a while. You then get an extra thick cheese crust on the chicory.
