Ingredients
- 1 Large head escarole
- 2 tblsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Juice of 1/4 of a lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the escarole – remove the core and separate the leaves. Place the leaves in a sink of cold water. Swish the leaves vigorously to loosen any sand. Let the leaves sit for a few minutes until the sand settles to the bottom of the sink. Remove the leaves and dry in a salad spinner or drain on a kitchen towel.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, red and black pepper and sauté for about a minute being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Add the drained escarole leaves and toss until the leaves are coated with oil and beginning to wilt.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and braise for 4-5 minutes, stirring several times.
- Remove from heat and add the salt and lemon. Stir or toss to incorporate the salt and lemon juice.
- Serve immediately.
