Italian Greens

So many people like Italian Greens,but don't know how to make them. We will remedy that today. It's really very easy.

First, chop about 6-7 cloves of garlic. The more garlic, the better, if you ask me. Saute the chopped garlic in a little bit of olive oil.

Now, this is the escarole. some people use spinach for Italian greens, but to be authentic, you must use escarole. I grew this in my garden. so clean it really really well in the sink, in lots of cold water. Drain. then take a bite of it. It can sometimes be bitter. so taste it. If it IS bitter, plunge it into some hard boiling water for a few minutes, till it's BRIGHT green. It doesn't take long! Then drain it and add it to the sauteed garlic and oil.

You can fit ALOT of it into the skillet, but it cooks down to nothing.

cooking away!

This is one of my very favorite ways to eat greens...on top of some hot pasta, with some fresh Parmesan cheese on top. simple but good.
