From the Test Kitchen

Chicory is a popular salad green in Europe, but doesn’t get enough love in the United States. The darker green leaves are slightly bitter and peppery, while the pale inner leaves are milder in flavor similar to frisée. Combining chicory with sweeter ingredients, like apples and caramelized onions, gives this salad a great balance.

Wipe out the pan used to toast the walnuts. Heat a little olive oil on high until hot. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper, then add it to the hot pan.

Add the onion to the pan used for the steak and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally. Add the chickpeas, turmeric, and curry powder and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chickpeas are warmed through, stirring to coat them in the spices.
