How To Make fresh garlic greens

Step 1

Prepare the lettuce by cutting an inch off the bottom. Wash the leaves well in a sink of water, rinse well to remove all the dirt. Tear the leaves into pieces, and drain on paper towel.

Step 2

Place the escarole in a large pan, add the garlic, and 1/4 inch of water. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and steam the leaves until wilted, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3

Now that they have wilted, pour off the excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper, and add the olive oil. Toss well. Continue to cook until tender, about another 5 minutes.
Step 4

Place in serving bowl and enjoy!
