Categories     Bean     Onion     Pasta     Tomato     Side     Vegetarian     Escarole     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dried white beans such as Great Northern, soaked in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches overnight or quick-soaked (procedure follows) and drained
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
12 cups packed coarsely shredded escarole
1/2 cup dry white wine
a 28-ounce can Italian tomatoes, drained, reserving the juice, and chopped
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves (preferably flat-leafed)
1 pound fusilli (corkscrew-shaped pasta)
freshly grated Parmesan to taste

Steps:

  • In a kettle combine the beans with enough cold water to cover them by 2-inches and simmer them, covered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender. Drain the beans in a colander set over a bowl and reserve the cooking liquid. In a large deep skillet cook the onion, the garlic, the sage, the rosemary, the thyme, the red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the escarole in 2 batches, and cook each batch, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the escarole is wilted. Add the wine and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes. In a blender or food processor purée 1 1/2 cups of the cooked beans with 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid and add to the skillet with the remaining beans, the tomatoes with the reserved juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly, and stir in the parsley. In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the fusilli until it is al dente, drain it well, and in a large bowl toss it with the sauce and the Parmesan.
  • To quick-soak dried beans:
  • In a colander rinse the beans under cold water and discard any discolored ones. In a kettle combine the beans with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the beans for 2 minutes. Remove the kettle from the heat and let the beans soak, covered, for 1 hour.

### Cooking with Escarole: Key Takeaways and Comprehensive Guide for Exceptional Results ### Culinary Delights with Escarole: Discovering Its Versatility Escarole, a member of the leafy greens family, is a culinary treat that offers a delightful balance of bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Its distinct texture and distinct peppery kick make it a welcome addition to various culinary creations. If you're looking to incorporate escarole into your cooking repertoire, here are some key tips and a detailed guide to ensure your culinary endeavors turn out exceptionally well. ### Understanding Escarole's Unique Characteristics - Escarole possesses a distinct bitterness that can be tamed through cooking methods like braising, sautéing, or roasting. - Its sturdy leaves can withstand longer cooking times, making it a suitable ingredient for stews, soups, and casseroles. - Escarole's peppery notes pair well with rich flavors, such as bacon, sausage, and hearty cheeses. ### Selecting the Finest Escarole - Opt for escarole with bright green leaves that are crisp and free of blemishes. - Smaller heads of escarole tend to have a milder bitterness compared to larger ones. - If using escarole in salads, choose heads with tightly curled leaves for a more appealing presentation. ### Preparing Escarole for Culinary Creations - To clean escarole, remove any bruised or discolored leaves. - Separate the leaves and rinse them under cold running water to remove any grit or impurities. - Thoroughly dry the leaves using a clean kitchen towel or aサラダスピナ. ### Cooking Techniques that Bring out Escarole's Best - Sautéed Escarole: Melt butter or oil in a pan, add sliced escarole, and cook until softened. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic for a simple yet flavorful side dish. - Braised Escarole: In a covered pan, braise escarole with broth or stock, adding aromatic ingredients like onions, carrots, and celery. Simmer until the escarole is melt-in-your- mouth tender. - Roasted Escarole: Toss escarole leaves with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a hot oven until slightly charred and caramelizaed. This method brings out escarole's natural sweetness. ### Incorporating Escarole into Culinary Masterpieces - Salads: Add escarole's distinct bitterness to salads for a welcome contrast to sweeter greens like romaine or baby spinach. - Soups and Stews: Escarole's sturdier leaves hold their own in long-simmered soups and stews, infusing them with a unique depth of flavor. - Pasta Dishes: Incorporate sautéed or braised escarole into pasta sauces for a flavorful and nutrient-rich addition. - Stuffed Vegetables: Use escarole leaves to stuff stuffed peppers, tomatoes, or zucchini for a hearty and satisfying meal. ### Pairing Escarole with Complementary Flavors - Salty Meats: Escarole's bitterness beautifully offsets the saltiness of bacon, ham, or sausage. - Roasted Nuts: Topped with crunchy walnuts or almonds, escarole salads gain an extra layer of texture and richness. - Citrus Fruits: A squeeze of lemon or orange juice can balance out escarole's bitterness and add a refreshing touch. - Aged Cheeses: Aged cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino Romano provide a salty and nutty contrast to escarole's peppery notes. ### Storing Escarole for Optimal Preservation - Keep escarole refrigerated in a plastic bag or airtight container for up to 5 days. - For longer storage, blanch escarole by dipping it in hot water for a few minutes, then immediately transferring it to cold water. Pat dry and freeze for up to 6 months. ### Reviving Escarole for Culinary Delights - To revive escarole after freezing, thaw it in the refrigerator or under cold running water. - Gently squeeze out any excess water before using. In conclusion, escarole's distinct bitterness, versatility, and nutritional value make it a welcome addition to various culinary creations. With its ability to stand up to different cooking methods and pair well with a range of flavors, escarole is a culinary chameleon that can elevate both simple and complex dishes. So, next time you're looking for a leafy green with a distinct edge, reach for escarole and embark on a flavorful culinary journey.
