Rico and I are not big on Valentine’s Day. On our third Valentine’s Day together, we decided to continue our tradition of just stuffing our faces with as much food as possible. We needed something green on our plate (I’m not really sure why.) and this worked. I would definitely make this over and over and over again. Just maybe not when it’s in the way of my short ribs.
Ingredients:
- Half a head of escarole, washed and separated into individual leaves
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Place escarole in a pot of cold water.
Bring to boil, then boil for an additional 3 minutes (until it wilts and shrinks).
Dry escarole well.
Heat olive oil in pan, then add minced garlic. Let cook for 30 seconds or so, then add escarole.
Toss and cook for about 2 minutes until well covered with garlic and oil.
Serve with an incredible Valentine’s Day dinner! Makes two smaller servings at around 75 calories each (mostly due to the oil). Use Pam or light butter instead and save calories!
