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:
- Peel and smash garlic and let sit for 10 minutes to allow its cancer fighting enzymes to release.
- Heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- 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?
