1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup black olives
1/4 cup red wine
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon capers
2 tablespoons pine nuts, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons golden raisins, moistened in red wine and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper
2 heads escarole
2 garlic cloves, smashed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, olives, anchovies, 1/4 cup wine, 1/4 cup olive oil, cheese, pine nuts, raisins, parsley, and capers.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Discard any damaged outer leaves from the escarole, wash thoroughly between the leaves and shake dry.

  • Remove the string and slice the escarole open to serve.
