OLD WORLD ESCAROLE AND BEANS



Old World Escarole and Beans image

After searching high and low for a soupy escarole and beans recipe, I finally created my own version. It tastes just like the appetizer I order at one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York. It has a soupy consistency so best served in a bowl with a crusty bread for dipping. My husband asks me to make this every week. I promise you will love this recipe. The cooking technique removes the bitterness from the escarole while maintaining the firmness of the beans.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch escarole, fresh
3 clove garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
16 oz chicken stock, light
water to cover
2 can(s) white beans
1 stick pepperoni

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the escarole in water. Rinse and repeat. Make sure you clean it well, Escarole has a lot of sand typically so you want to do this several times.
  • 2. Once Clean - roughly chope the escarole. Saute in a pot with garlic and olive oil so the flavors combine.
  • 3. Cover the escerole with water and let it simmer. While the pot is simmering, clice the pepperoni. You can buy a bag of sliced but it may be two thin so I would still use a stick. My mother cuts the pieces in half.
  • 4. Add the chicken stock, beans and pepperoni to the pot and boil, then simmer for at least 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to tast.
  • 5. Serve in soup bowls. We add grated romano, red crushed pepper, and have think crusty bread for dunking in the broth.
