Reviews
Terrible. The boiling of the escarole made it soggy and unedible!!
What a hot mess! I knew better than to parboil for 5 minutes, but I’d never cooked escarole except to grill it, so I followed instructions. Of course the color drained out so I was left with an soggy pile of anemic green and pinky beige leaves. I can’t imagine there could have been any nutrients left either. Although I doggedly finished the recipe, no amount of garlic and olive oil could have saved it. We did taste it though, then it went directly into the compost pile.
DEPENDING ON HOW ITALIAN YOUR SOUL IS AND NOT YOUR BACKGROUND… PLAY WITH THE AMOUNT OF GARLIC, ALSO TRY IT SLICED, CRUSHED, OR CHOPPED.
