Melt the fat in the skillet.

Add the endives cut-side down to the skillet and brown them on all sides.

Once browned, add about 1/4 cup of chicken stock to the skillet.

Add about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and mix it in.

Add about 1 teaspoon of tarragon vinegar and mix that in as well.

Cover the skillet and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Set a timer for 20 minutes, checking and turning the endives after 10 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the lid and let the liquid evaporate until desired consistency.

Garnish with chopped parsley and season with sea salt and coarse black pepper before serving.
