ESCAROLE WITH GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS



Escarole With Garlic and Bread Crumbs image

Escarole is a bitter green and we love it sauteed with fresh garlic. A quick blanching keeps it bright green and tames some of it's bitterness. I found this version in "The North End Italian Cookbook". Fried bread crumbs and a few red pepper flakes makes this dish fantastic.

SAUTEED ESCAROLE WITH GARLIC



Sauteed Escarole with Garlic image

When sautéed in olive oil, escarole needs little more than a bit of garlic and a touch of salt and pepper to make a satisfying side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced 1/8 inch lengthwise
1 large head escarole, leaves separated
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add escarole, salt, and pepper. Raise heat to high; cook, stirring occasionally, until escarole is soft and white parts are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh escarole with bright green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the escarole thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the escarole. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat before adding the escarole. This will help prevent the escarole from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the escarole until it is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more. This will add flavor to the dish.
  • Season the escarole with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the escarole immediately as a side dish or main course.
