Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon salt
2 heads escarole, cut into 2-inch pieces
¼ cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Stir drained escarole and cannellini beans into the garlic mixture; cook and stir until the beans are hot, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the mixture just before serving.

Chef John's Beans and Greens | Allrecipes image

Beans and greens has it all: it's very easy and inexpensive to make; it's highly nutritious; it's soulful and comforting; and it can be served as a main course, side dish, soup, vegetable stew, or my personal favorite--as an appetizer. This is my new favorite home version, and uses delicious, beautiful escarole.

My Italian Aunt often made this when we went to visit. I was just given the recipe. It is so good and so easy to make. You can use any leafy green like spinach or turnip greens but romaine has a nice sweet flavour so it was always the first choice. This is more like a chili/stew style soup.

BRAISED WHITE BEANS AND GREENS WITH PARMESAN RECIPE - NYT ...
Inspired by the Italian dish of sautéed puntarelle (an Italian variety of chicory) and white beans, this recipe makes a satisfying vegetarian main course or a hearty side dish for roast chicken or sausages. It opts for canned white beans, for the sake of weeknight convenience, and Swiss chard, which is much milder than puntarelle and easier to find in the U.S. Kale or escarole would also work well, if that’s what you’ve got. On that note, grated Pecorino Romano cheese gives the broth a more pungent element, but Parmesan will work in its place. Serve in shallow bowls with toasted country bread to mop up the garlicky broth.

BEANS-AND-GREENS SOUP RECIPE | COOKING LIGHT
This hearty yet healthy Italian classic features humble ingredients that make a big impact. Escarole is transformed by heat, from a bitter green into something soft, mellow, and sultry. If you can’t find escarole, substitute an equal amount of coarsely chopped lacinato kale, red kale, or Swiss chard. Parmesan cheese lends savory depth and body to the broth, while accents of pancetta add richness. As with most soups, the longer it sits, the better it gets, making this recipe a great make-ahead candidate. Bonus: One serving delivers more than a quarter of the day’s calcium and almost 30% of your daily potassium goal.
