How to cook deliciously - Sautéed Escarole

1. Stage

Sauté the garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using).

2. Stage

Add the escarole leaves, turn with tongs: Once the garlic starts to cook and is fragrant, add the escarole leaves to the pan. The leaves should still be a little wet from rinsing. They'll sizzle as they hit the pan, but if you add them all at once, the oil shouldn't splatter. Use tongs to turn the escarole over in the pan as it cooks. Sprinkle with a little salt.

3. Stage

Wilt the escarole: When the escarole starts to wilt and is barely cooked through, remove from the heat. Remove from the pan immediately to serve. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
