ESCAROLE WITH GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS
Escarole is a bitter green and we love it sauteed with fresh garlic. A quick blanching keeps it bright green and tames some of it's bitterness. I found this version in "The North End Italian Cookbook". Fried bread crumbs and a few red pepper flakes makes this dish fantastic.

SALMON WITH ESCAROLE AND LEMON
Escarole has a slight, pleasant bitterness balanced by a sweetness. It turns mild, even sweeter, and surprisingly buttery when cooked.
