1/8 pound pancetta, sliced and chopped
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 pounds escarole, washed and coarsely chopped (2 medium bunches or 1 large bunch)
2 (14-ounce) cans, cannellini beans, drained
1 quart prepared chicken stock or broth
A couple pinches ground nutmeg or fresh grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and black pepper
Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, for topping

Steps:

  • In a deep, large, heavy pot over moderate heat, saute garlic and pancetta in extra-virgin olive oil for 3 minutes. Add onions and cook 1 or 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the greens and wilt them down to fit them all in the pot. Add beans, broth, and nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook over moderate to medium-high heat for 12 minutes, or until greens are no longer bitter. Serve with shaved cheese, bread, and good red wine.
