With all these holiday dinners, figuring out the perfect appetizer to bring is as challenging as bringing the perfect gift for the hostess. But don’t worry! Flavio, our Chef at Tibits took the time to show us one of Tibits’ most popular dish straight from their cookbook ” Vegan Love Story” – the Chicory and Orange Bake. It will look as if you spent hours making it 🙂
As a side note, a lot of people stay away from Chicory because of its bitter taste but the trick is to blanch it to give it a softer savour. Tibits’ customers say that normally they don’t like to eat Chicory but love it when made this way.
