Correction: “or an endive cup”

Nancy · Answer

Appetizer...not needed for such a down-to-earth and hearty main. But if you want one - for the occasion, or to welcome guests as they arrive - consider tapenade (from the same region) on crackers or toast on an endive cup filled with some nice avocado or salad.

Side dishes - all the starchy dishes you suggest are good...choose what you like or what looks good in the markets.

Vegetables. Yes to salad if you did not serve is as an appetizer. Or any cooked dark green vegetable - beans, sprouts, swiss chard, etc.
