Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head escarole (fresh, cleaned, trimmed and chopped)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic (sliced)
pinch crushed red pepper (or more-according to taste)
salt to taste
lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Once the water has started boiling, add the chopped escarole, and simmer for about 5 minutes. The total time will vary based on how tough the leaves are.
  • Meanwhile, over medium heat, drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
  • Lower the heat to medium, add the sliced garlic (3-4 cloves) and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden. Take care not to let the garlic brown.
  • If desired, add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper
  • Remove from heat.
  • By this time, the parboiled escarole should be tender. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing the excess water to drain off and place in a bowl. There will be a little bit of liquid that accumulates at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Next, add the drained escarole to the pan of sauteed garlic along with a couple of tablespoons of the drained liquid.The oil might splatter a little so be careful.
  • Return the pan back to medium heat and simmer for about 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. If there is still a bit of liquid left, raise the heat to cook it off.
  • Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and if desired serve with lemon wedges.

Categories     Escarole

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
3 anchovy fillets
1 large bunch escarole, about 1 pound, leaves trimmed, separated, and washed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 cup pitted oil-cured black olives

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovies, and cook, stirring, until the anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the whole escarole leaves to the skillet, with a little water from washing still clinging to them, and season with the salt. Stir in the olives. Once the escarole begins to wilt, cover the skillet and cook until the leaves are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the pan is not dry; if it is, add a few tablespoons of water and re-cover.
  • Once the escarole is wilted and tender, uncover and cook for another minute or two to evaporate any excess liquid. Season with salt (keeping in mind that the anchovies and olives contain salt), and serve warm.
