Chef's Notes
Do not rush the escarole reduction! Letting those greens soak up the bacon fat and olive oil is the secret alchemy of this rustic masterpiece.
Pro Tip
Always rinse your canned beans thoroughly under cold water to remove any metallic canning flavors before they hit the pan.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the entire head of escarole onto the floor right after washing it, leaving you with a soggy, muddy tragedy and no greens for dinner.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court gardener if we could grow more escarole, and he told me it was 'too bitter'—which I assume is just his way of describing my personality.
The Culinary Science
Garlic releases allicin when minced, a pungent compound that develops its best aromatic notes when bloomed briefly in hot oil.
