Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Escarole

    Wash the escarole thoroughly to remove any grit and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Escarole

    Add the chopped escarole to the pot and sauté until it wilts, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Beans and Broth

    Stir in the Tuscan white beans and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Season the Dish

    Add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm as a side dish or main course. Optionally, add cooked sweet Italian sausage on top for an extra flavor boost.
