Wilted Escarole
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
1 large or 2 small heads escarole, trimmed, washed,
and dried (about 12 cups)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
Remove the tough outer leaves of the escarole and
twist from the core, discard. Wash in a deep bowl filled with very cold water and
swish around until all the dirt has rested on the bottom of the bowl. Lift the

leaves from the bowl and spin dry in small batches in a salad spinner.

Heat the butter, oil, and pepper flakes in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add
half the escarole and stir until just wilted. Add the remaining escarole and cook
until softened but still has a little crunch. Season with the salt and serve.
