Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup pitted green olives, roughly chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 large heads escarole (about 1 1/2 pounds), roughly chopped into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the oil, shallots, garlic and pepper flakes, if using, then season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the olives and raisins and stir to combine. Add the chopped escarole and season with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and coat the escarole in the flavors. Cover with the lid and allow to steam for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and the greens are tender, another 3 minutes.

I'm a big fan of escarole, so I was excited to try this recipe. I was not disappointed! The escarole was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and well-balanced. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. I would suggest using less escarole and more olives and raisins. I would also add a bit of lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.

I made this dish exactly as the recipe instructed, but it didn't turn out as I expected. The escarole was tough and the sauce was too salty.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really oily. I think I may have added too much olive oil.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce was bland and lacked flavor.

The escarole was not cooked evenly. Some parts were tender while others were still tough.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less escarole.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. I'm not usually a fan of escarole, but the braising process mellowed out the bitterness and made it much more palatable. The olives and raisins added a nice sweetness and acidity.

This braised escarole dish was an absolute delight! The flavors of the olives, raisins, and pine nuts blended perfectly with the slightly bitter escarole. It was a great side dish for our roasted chicken.
