[recipe-directions]

  1. Place the sliced Chiles in a
    heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the Vinegar,
    Water, Sugar, and Salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar
    and salt. Pour the hot Vinegar mixture over the Chiles in the bowl and let
    cool. 
  3. Heat the Olive Oil in a large
    skillet. When the oil is hot, add the Endives cut-side down (you may need
    to work in batches to keep from crowding the pan) and sear until golden
    brown, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and transfer to a serving platter.
  4. Top the Endives with Pickled Peppers,
    Queso fresco, Pumpkin seeds and drizzle with Balsamic and Olive Oil.
