FRISéE, ESCAROLE, AND ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Toss greens with kosher salt in a large salad bowl. Drizzle oil over greens and toss to coat well. Sprinkle vinegar over greens and toss again.

SAUTéED ESCAROLE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovies, and cook, stirring, until the anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes.
• Add the whole escarole leaves to the skillet, with a little water from washing still clinging to them, and season with the salt. Stir in the olives. Once the escarole begins to wilt, cover the skillet and cook until the leaves are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the pan is not dry; if it is, add a few tablespoons of water and re-cover.
• Once the escarole is wilted and tender, uncover and cook for another minute or two to evaporate any excess liquid. Season with salt (keeping in mind that the anchovies and olives contain salt), and serve warm.
