Escarole and Sausage
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
6 cloves garlic
3 to 4 pounds Fortuna Italian sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 heads escarole, about 2 pounds
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Slice garlic and saute in oil. Meanwhile, cut escarole into small pieces and wash well. Shake out excess water, and then add to garlic. Cover, lower heat and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
While the escarole is cooking, cut the sausage into one-inch pieces and cook in another pan until about three-quarters done. Because of its leanness, you may have to use vegetable spray or a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Later, add the sausage to the escarole and simmer for about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and if desired, some red pepper flakes or ground red pepper. (If using the hot rather than the sweet sausage, there is no need to add the last seasoning.)
Serve with mashed potatoes or garlic bread for a heary peasant meal.
