Escarole and Beans: Because You're Out of Real Groceries

Look, we've all been there. It's Thursday night, the fridge is a wasteland, and you're staring at a leafy green that sounds like a Victorian disease: Escarole.

What Even Is Escarole?

It's lettuce with an attitude problem. But when you cook it down with some beans and fresh tomatoes, it magically transforms into a "comforting and light" meal. (Translation: You will still be hungry in two hours, hence the bread).

The Gear You Need

To tackle this leafy beast, you're going to want a massive, hefty chef's blade. Show that escarole who's boss. Chop it up, throw it in a pot, and pretend you're a rustic Italian peasant who just had a bountiful harvest.
