Think beyond the salad bowl: Cooking escarole tempers its slight bitterness; pine nuts are a mellow complement.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds escarole (about 2 heads), tough outer ribs discarded and remainder cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Wash escarole well in a sinkful of cold water, agitating it, then lift out and drain in a colander. Cook escarole in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes, then drain well in colander.
  • Dry pot, then add oil and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add pine nuts to hot oil and cook, stirring, until pale golden, about 1 minute. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until garlic and pine nuts are golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add escarole, stirring to coat with oil, then increase heat to moderately high and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Season escarole with salt and pepper.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons dried currants
2 tablespoons water
2 pounds escarole, halved lengthwise, cored, cut crosswise into 2-inch-wide strips
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Combine currants and water in small bowl. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain. Transfer currants to medium bowl.
  • Cook escarole in batches in large pot of boiling water just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain; cool under cold running water. Drain again; squeeze to remove excess water. Combine with currants.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté just until beginning to color, about 2 minutes. Add escarole mixture and pine nuts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until escarole is heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh escarole: Look for leaves that are crisp and brightly colored, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Wash the escarole thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris. You can use a salad spinner to dry the escarole after washing.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the escarole: This will help to prevent the leaves from tearing.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You can always add more dressing if needed.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Escarole salad is best when it's fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
