Escarole and Beans | Orsara Recipes image

Today I am sharing with you my Escarole and Beans recipe! There are two versions of escarole and beans; the regular white version and cooking in red sauce. Both are delicious, so I will share both recipes here. My favorite is the white version, but I think both are very tasty. If you try both, let me know which you prefer!

Total Time 150 minutes

Prep Time 120 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 heads of Escarole (base removed, trimmed and washed)
1/2 lb. Cannellini Beans (dry)
28 oz. Whole, Peeled Tomatoes ((only for the red sauce version!))
1/2 sweet onion (thinly sliced)
4 Garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
1 cup chicken broth
Bread (optional, on side for dipping)
1 Garlic clove (unpeeled, for cooking with the beans for flavor)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Begin by cooking the beans as per the package instructions. Throw in an unpeeled garlic clove for more flavor. After the beans are cooked, place in a bowl and remove the garlic clove. Do not discard the water the beans were cooked in! Reserve enough of the water to cover the beans in the bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare the escarole. Cut off the base of the escarole head and then, holding the escarole leaves together, cut the escarole in three. Wash the escarole leaves four to five times to remove all of the dirt. Once cleaned, add the escarole into the boiling pot of water. Let cook for about ten minutes, making sure to occasionally stir.
  • In the meantime in a separate pot, heat a large drizzle of olive oil over medium to high heat. Add in the garlic and onion and fry for about three minutes. If cooking the red sauce version, add in the tomatoes at this point and cook for another three minutes, making sure to squeeze the tomatoes as you mix. If cooking the white sauce version, just keep cooking the garlic and onions over medium to low heat for another three minutes.
  • Strain the escarole and add the boiled escarole leaves into the pot with the garlic and onion. Mix together and cook over low heat for about five minutes.
  • If cooking the white sauce version, add in the beans with the bean water and the chicken broth. If cooking in red sauce, add in only the beans and the chicken broth (no bean water). Mix together and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and let cook for about seven more minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve with a side of fresh Italian bread to "fare la scarpetta", or to dip into the escarole and bean broth that is leftover. Enjoy! Salute and cin cin!

ESCAROLE AND WHITE BEANS WITH A PARMESAN-NUT CRUST ...
A favorite green in Italian cooking where it's a "must" in traditional wedding soup, escarole stands up perfectly as the main ingredient in this quick bean bake, given its dense, spinach-like texture and punchy flavor. Leeks, garlic, and rosemary add to the dish's unmistakably Italian flair. And the crunchy, nutty Parmesan and walnut topping make this dinner-in-under-an-hour casserole anything but ordinary! Hearty enough to stand alone alongside a salad of sliced tomatoes, this casserole would also be perfect on a holiday sideboard or party buffet as a complement to roasted meats or poultry.

ESCAROLE WITH WHITE BEANS RECIPE - FOOD.COM
I grew up eating this, not just as a side dish, but as a main meal. My grandmother would make a pot of it, and spoon some over a thick slab of Italian bread, which would absorb the juices. This is true comfort food to me! However, if that doesn't sound like a meal to you, you can always add 1 pound of Italian sausage. Reduce the olive oil to 1 T., and cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Then add the onions to the pan and continue from there.
