Grilled Endives with Marjoram
Endives pick up a delicious smoky flavor on the grill. Mario Batali cooks them until they’re tender but still a little crisp, then tosses the endives with a lemony dressing and tops them with slices of Provatura (an Italian cheese that’s similar to mozzarella but firmer). Young provolone is an easy-to-find substitute.
