Divide the butter in half between 2 frying pans or very wide , shallow saucepans with tightly fitting lids and heat until it foams.
3.
Add the chicory pieces , spreading them out in a single layer in the hot butter , and fry over a moderately high heat until lightly browned.
Turn carefully and brown the other side.
4.
Add half the stock to each cooking receptacle , cover tightly and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for 5 minutes.

Mix the sugar with the strained juice of the 2 lemons , remove the lids and sprinkle the sweetened lemon juice all over the chicory.
