Place the chopped chicory in a bowl of water and let it curl. Then drain and prepare the sauce. Place the cored garlic, anchovies, and vinegar in a mortar and crush.

Cut the puntarelle with a small knife or with the appropriate tool.... Rinse under running water.

Add the oil and a pinch of salt, mix well, and season the chicory. Stir and let rest for at least 15 minutes... they'll be even better.
