Escarole Pizza image

On top of pizza, tossed with a pound of pasta, or eaten as a side dish this escarole recipe is as versatile as they come. Cooking the escarole mellows the flavor, making it less bitter, and a couple of anchovies added in the very beginning add a richness that is not at all fishy.From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Yield Makes 2 10-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons best-quality salt-cured anchovies
3 tablespoons chopped black olives such as Gaeta or Nicoise
1 tablespoon small capers, well rinsed
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 bunch fresh escarole, sliced 3/4-inch crosswise and washed, with water still clinging to the leaves (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 Pizza Dough for Personal Pizzas, divided into 6 pieces
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the anchovies and cook, stirring, until they dissolve into a paste, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in the olives, capers and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the flavors are well combined, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the escarole to the pan, little by little as the leaves will quickly wilt and make room for more. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • To prepare the pizza, by lightly brushing the entire pie with olive oil. Leaving a ½-inch border of dough around the edge of the pie, spread a thin layer of the escarole and grated Parmesan cheese over the dough and bake.

Overall, I thought the escarole pizza was a good recipe. It was easy to make and had a unique flavor. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to suit my own taste.

The pizza crust was a bit too crispy for my liking. I would have preferred it to be a bit softer and chewier.

The escarole pizza was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a milder green, like spinach or kale.

I love that this pizza is a bit different from your average pepperoni or cheese pizza. It's a great way to switch things up and try something new.

This pizza is a great way to use up leftover escarole. I had some leftover from a salad and decided to try this recipe. It was a hit with my family!

I'm not usually a fan of escarole, but this pizza changed my mind. The bitterness of the escarole was perfectly balanced by the salty Parmesan and the tangy tomato sauce.

This escarole pizza was a delightful surprise! The combination of escarole, garlic, and Parmesan cheese was simply irresistible. The pizza crust was crispy and flavorful, providing the perfect base for the toppings.
