Add the butter to the bacon grease form, sauté the onions until translucent. Place the chicory cobs one next to the other in the frying pan and sauté exactly all around.

at the end season with salt + pepper add Noilly Prat, let it bubble up and make uncovered 2 to 3 min. Add vegetable or chicken broth Put thyme on the cobs and steam on low fire with lid closed for about 30 min, turning 2 to 3 times to the other side.
