Escarole With Garlic And Oil Recipes

ESCAROLE WITH GARLIC AND OIL

Steps:

• Pull the leaves of the escarole apart. Trim off the ends and cut out the core. Rinse well and shake off the excess water.
• Drop the escarole into boiling water with salt to taste. Simmer until the escarole is tender, about five minutes.
• Drain well. Squeeze to extract excess liquid.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and add the garlic. Cook until the garlic starts to brown (do not let it brown or it will become bitter). Add the escarole, stirring it around so that it heats evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

SAUTEED ESCAROLE WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add escarole, salt, and pepper. Raise heat to high; cook, stirring occasionally, until escarole is soft and white parts are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt, if desired. Serve immediately.

BRAISED ESCAROLE WITH GARLIC AND LEMON

Steps:

• Break off the leaves of the escarole and wash them individually, taking care to remove any soil at the base of the stems. Shake the leaves dry, stack them up, and slice the escarole crosswise into ribbons about 1 1/2-inches wide.
• Place a large deep skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Toss in the garlic, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, and lemon slices; cook and stir for a couple of minutes, tossing to combine. Nestle the escarole into the pan and saute until it begins to wilt and shrink down, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the escarole with a pinch of sugar and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the water and cover the pan. Simmer for 20 minutes until the escarole is tender.
