1/8 pound pancetta, sliced and chopped
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 pounds escarole, washed and coarsely chopped (2 medium bunches or 1 large bunch)
2 (14-ounce) cans, cannellini beans, drained

A couple pinches ground nutmeg or fresh grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and black pepper
