Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup pitted green olives, roughly chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 large heads escarole (about 1 1/2 pounds), roughly chopped into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the oil, shallots, garlic and pepper flakes, if using, then season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the olives and raisins and stir to combine. Add the chopped escarole and season with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and coat the escarole in the flavors. Cover with the lid and allow to steam for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and the greens are tender, another 3 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and red pepper flakes next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover escarole. I always have a bunch of escarole left over after I make my weekly salad, and this recipe is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the olives.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I love escarole, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The braising process makes the escarole so tender, and the olives, raisins, and pine nuts add a delicious sweetness and crunch. I always serve this dish with roasted chicken or pork.

Not a fan. The escarole was bitter, and the olives and raisins were too sweet. I think I'll stick to my regular escarole recipe.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes. The escarole was also a bit tough, even after braising it for the recommended time.
