California Farm Prosciutto Chicory in Bechamel Sauce

We seed endive in fall as a winter green when the rains come, harvest fresh leaves in spring, like lettuce, dig up the root and dry in peetmoss, keep in a dark box till fall, water and grow the shoots, in the dark, keeping them white and tender, not bitter, fresh winter vegetables. The shoots from the roots are called chicory.
Wrapped in ham, covered in microwave bechamel sauce, makes a delicious meat substitute for special meals. Serve with Chardonnay wine. Enjoy.
