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

  1. 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.

Delicious, light, and healthy! <br /><br />I am going to make this again and again as both a main and side dish!<br /><br />For dinner, I added a cup of Pinto Beans to make it more filling, but taste wise I would not recommend it. If you want something more filling I think that cannelloni beans would be tastier, as a previous reviewer mentioned. <br /><br />Other then that, finding the anchovies delicious, I would keep them whole or add a few whole fillets to the chopped so they are visible. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
