Wilted Escarole with Garlic, Lemon and Oil

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 teaspoons anchovy paste, eyeball it
• 6 anchovy fillets, chopped
• Couple pinches red pepper flakes
• 2 heads escarole, trimmed, rinsed, and dried
• 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat with garlic and anchovy. Cook together 3 to 4 minutes to infuse garlic into oil. Remove the garlic cloves and stir oil to mix in the melted anchovies and add the red pepper flakes. Raise heat to medium-high. When oil ripples or begins to waft smoke, add greens and stir fry them 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over the greens, toss, and serve.
