Growers
Frisee is available year round.
Producing curly, narrow, fringed leaves frisee is a light green to lime-green in color. The lacy leaves offer a mildly bitter flavor. The tender, white centers of this green are even less bitter in taste.
Dark leafy greens provide vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
Frisee is most often used in salads but may also be wilted or sauteed to mellow its bitterness. Toss chopped frisee with orange segments and pomegranate seeds, or radicchio and pears for a winter salad. Top frisee with lardons, vinaigrette and a poached egg. Saute frisee until wilted and combine with chopped walnuts and goat cheese. Frisee will keep, refrigerated, for one to two weeks.
A member of the chicory family, frisee, along with curly endive, chicory endive and curly chicory, each loose head of this green is tied up to prevent the sun from penetrating the center, called blanching, while the outer leaves turn green. Although endive is related, it is a different plant-- true chicory is identified by its frilly appearance.
