Kale and escarole with shallots is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. Kale is a leafy green vegetable that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Escarole is another leafy green vegetable that is slightly bitter and has a slightly nutty flavor. Shallots are a type of onion that is milder in flavor than a regular onion. When these three ingredients are combined, they create a dish that is both flavorful and healthy.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for frying
3 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled, smashed
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 pounds escarole, thinly sliced, washed, drained, and spun dry

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil in a small saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Working in 3 batches, fry shallots, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat olive oil and garlic in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard garlic. Add red-pepper flakes to pan, and cook 15 seconds. Fill pan with escarole, and cook, carefully stirring and adding more escarole, a handful at a time, as space allows. Once all of the escarole is in the pan, season with remaining teaspoon salt, and stir just until escarole begins to wilt and turn a vibrant green. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and top with fried shallots.
