Name: Sautandeacute;ed Escarole with Bacon and Grapes
Ingredients: 1 large bunch escarole; 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil; ¼ cup minced shallot; 1 clove garlic, minced; Pinch red pepper flakes (optional); 3 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled; ¾ cup green seedless California grapes; ½ teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; juice of one small lemon (about 3 tablespoons)

Directions

Chop the escarole into large pieces and wash well, discarding the hard core and any browned leaves. Drain. Heat a large, high-sided skillet or wok over high heat. Melt the butter and saute the shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the bacon and the escarole leaves. Toss and turn quickly as they sizzle and start to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Add the grapes, salt, pepper and lemon juice and continue to cook until the escarole is just tender and the fruit is warmed through, about 2 minutes more. Turn out on to a platter and serve hot.
