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.

This recipe was a disaster! The escarole was tough and bitter, and the currants and pine nuts were burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was just okay. The escarole was a bit bland and the currants and pine nuts didn't add much flavor.

The escarole was a bit tough, even after cooking it for the recommended time. I think I would have preferred it if it had been cooked for a bit longer.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less escarole and more currants and pine nuts.
