Escarole

[BleedingHeart]

Hey all. My mother is such a green thumb. Always planting stuff. Now she is into vegetables and now we have rows of this vegetable called escarole. How do you guys cook it? (Because I am in charge of cooking in our house)

Sautéed Escarole
from Everyday Food by Martha Stewart
What you need:
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 pound of escarole (2 small heads or 1 large head), well washed and leaves torn
coarse salt
What you do:

1. Peel and smash garlic and let sit for 10 minutes to allow its cancer fighting enzymes to release.
2. Heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3. Add escarole and season with salt. Cook stirring often, until tender, about 10 minutes.

Thank you, NSBound (Ian) for posting the recipe of sauteed escarole. Actually that is how I cook it now. That is the only way I know how. LOL. Anyone else have an interesting family recipe for this funny-looking vegetable?
