Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Escarole

    Rinse the escarole under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and just starting to turn golden.

  3. 5

    Add Escarole

    Add the chopped escarole to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the escarole is wilted and tender.

  4. 6

    Season

    Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the escarole is evenly seasoned.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the sautéed escarole to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side or on top of your favorite grain.
