Author Notes
Cooking is an art and your dish should be like a great piece of art. If it's great, it will have tension and contrast as well as harmonious elements. A contrast of textures, colors and flavors make the best dishes, and I'm happy to say this Escarole with Currants, Pine Nuts, and Garlic does all that and more! —MaryFrancesCooks

Ingredients
-
1
small head of escarole, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
6
cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
-
3 tablespoons
currants
-
2 tablespoons
pine nuts
-
Salt and pepper
Directions
-
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet, add the garlic and cover and sweat for 5 – 7 minutes on low heat. Do not let it brown.
-
Turn up the heat and sauté the escarole, flipping the garlic on top so it doesn’t burn. Add the pine nuts so they can toast.
-
After a few minutes, when the escarole is still crisp with the dark green leaves wilted, stir in the currents, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with love.
