This is truly a unique recipe inspired from Southern Italy (Bari area) where they have a traditional dish named Fave e Cicoria – a bean puree with Chicory (kind of a bitter spinach). We have reinterpreted this recipe and combined the sweet whole beans with the subtle bitterness of endives, to which we added some Central European spices that give this stew a fascinating twist.
