Escarole
Escarole is a member of the chickory
family and is a bit bitter, so if you are cooking it, you want to cook it
well to be sure the bitter taste is made more subtle. You can use this
in salad, uncooked, but if you dont like the bitter taste, you want to mix
it with iceberg lettuce or some other type of lettuce.
For a delicious and quick 5 minute dish that can
serve as an appetizer, you can heat some olive oil, garlic and shopped escarole
leaves. Season with salt and pepper, serve over a slice of Italian
toast.
