Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the escarole

    Wash the escarole thoroughly to remove any grit. Shake off excess water and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop vegetables

    Peel and finely chop the onion and carrot. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 4

    Add garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Incorporate escarole and beans

    Add the chopped escarole to the pot, stirring until it wilts. Then, add the rinsed cannellini beans and pour in the vegetable broth.

  4. 6

    Season the mixture

    Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes. The escarole should be tender and the flavors well combined.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve hot

    Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve the escarole and beans hot, drizzling with additional olive oil if desired.
