Our favorite Steak House of over 40 years, serves these greens. I finally asked what type of greens are these? The waitress said, escarole. To me escarole is a lettuce. But anyway, this is as close as I can come to their delicious Italian Greens! If you like spinach, you will love this! Yum, yum! :)

How To Make sauteed italian greens

Step 1

Remove the stem of the escarole, by cutting a 1/2 inch off the bottom. Now the leaves are loose.

Step 2

Wash the leaves very well to remove all the dirt and grit. Place the greens in a large sauté pan, with 1/4 inch of water. Cover pan with lid, and steam the leaves for 5 to 10 minutes. (they will wilt and reduce)
Step 3

Now that they have wilted, pour off the excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper, add the olive oil, garlic, and toss well.
Step 4

Sauté for about 10 minutes. Can you smell the garlic? Yum yum! Enjoy!
