Recipe: How to Make Escarole and Beans
1 or 2 large can of Cannellini beans
4 - 5 cloves of garlic
¼ cup olive oil
2 large bunches of escarole or 4 small bunches
Pepper flakes (optional)
Grated Cheese
Cut ends off escarole. Immerse escarole in large pot of cold water, drain in colander. Do this two or three times until you are sure the escarole is clean and free of dirt.
Cut up garlic and place in large pot with pepper flakes (if desired). Wait until the garlic starts to sizzle a bit. Place escarole in pot and cover. Let escarole cook for about 6-7 minutes. Add Cannellini beans sand salt to taste. Mix and allow escarole and beans to cook for about 10 minutes.
Serve in large bowl sprinkled with grated cheese and enjoy with a loaf of crusty bread.‪

Great advice about the proper cleaning. A quick rinse is never enough. Love escarole!

[@WildJay-w3j]

My Grandma used to make this and I’ve been in the mood for it but I forgot how to make it! This video is great and I laughed because I am Vegan!!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

It’s perfect for a vegan. Enjoy!

[@philg9967]

Been eating this my whole life. My mom been cooking it forever. We are 100000% Italian and we prefer the can beans so much more.

[@KimGGetsFit]

Family favorite from my nana. Haven’t had it it years! Thanks for posting!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Hope you enjoy

[@alicehagan3251]

One of my all time favorite dishes!! My mother used to make a polenta that she put in a roasting pan (when done) spread it out to fill pan entirely, baked it in the oven until edges were golden brown. She would cut this in pieced the size of a slice of sicilian pizza, and each of us would break it slightly and put in bottom of dish and add scarole and beans on top. Oh my God! Heaven on earth!

[@theresabollman8061]

That's exactly the way I like mine. MY best friend and I were pregnant together and her mother made this for us for lunch every single day! Our husbands got to love it too.

[@goodshepherd3438]

[@miasmom4601]

One of my favorite dishes. My mom just made a huge pot of this last weekend. Topped w grated cheese and some raw onion and Italian bread to dunk.. nothing better 👍🏻

[@Navygrl58]

Been waiting for this. I gave up on keto also and am now just watching my carbs and calories like the old days when losing weight wasn’t this big scientific breakdown. Calories in calories out and moderate exercise. This recipe is spot on and healthy, thanks! 👍.

[@hildamasi4665]

[@rachelreid8621]

I love your attitude and I'm on WW too! You have a new subscriber!

[@jo-anndigennaro9137]

Hi Hedy miss you. I use can beans all the time and it comes delicious. My Italian grandma always told me to wash all greens seven times for the seven sacraments and you'll never find dirt or sand. So far so good. You're looking thinner.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Jo-Ann DiGennaro Can you believe? They said canned beans were poison and my recipe was garbage.

[@suzannemistretta9275]

yum

[@vmcurry1]

Italian food for WW ? Yay! I just remembered escarole and beans like my Nana. But I remembered to soak beans overnight. WW ITALIANO more per favore. I found scarole in texas!! Thank you whole foods!

Happy New Year Hedy! This is one of my favorites!

[@annaskendos4758]

Hello Hedy....HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome back 🤗👍🥰 I understand about being g worried about the food, you are right, it's a sin to waste or throw it out. I wish you all the best in your weight loss journey because I know how hard it is to lose weight as we get older especially but I have to tell you you look great and you are a beautiful lady inside and out. Thank you for sharing this quick and simple recipe....I love beans and use the canned ones almost always. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@itsjohndell]

Love this! Making since I was a kid.

[@waterwitch8902]

In the west coast we can't find it. I lived in Jersey as a child and my grandma always used it, but in San Diego I can't find it and if I ask someone they look at me like I'm from Mars. Lol Love your videos. Stay happy, healthy, and safe. Blessed be

[@itsjohndell]

Can't find what? I'm in the West too.

[@janinanolasco3635]

Good escarole with facioli 👍👍

[@gdubrow13]

I must say, I love your youtube channel, I love the way you cook, your style, your family! Thank you for sharing so much with us. We really appreciate all the effort you put in to your videos. Good luck on your weight loss journey. I know it's not easy, especially when you are the cook in the family. I look forward to your next video. 😃

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

gdubrow13 Thank you so much.

[@haydeeventuro8687]

Great explaining all. Can’t make for my family.

[@theresabollman8061]

Only reason I can't eat this wonderful dish when I'm on a diet? Gotta have a half a loaf of good Italian bread with it...Hahahaha! Thank's for sharing, Hedy.

[@itsjohndell]

I made a pot of this just today! A Fav. And if someone says "You used too many beans" just tell them to shut their face and use less beans!

[@carfusz]

Tell them to use more greens My family is from Taranto

[@danielfontaine6977]

Happy New Year from Montreal :-)

[@nf2885]

Great choice for a healthy meal. I’ve made this exact recipe using Savoy cabbage. 😋😋You look nice Hedy.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

@hedytaranto sending you love and hugs from San Francisco Cali🌼💞love your channel! I wish you well on your weightloss goals too🙏

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Betty Stouffer Thank you Betty.

[@elizabethshaw734]

I live in Maine and my Walmart has escarole or as I usually say scrole.:-)

[@deniseg812]

I love you. Especially when you said no cheese on fish. It's a debate with me and my friends. I want to ask, did you dump the core of the escarole? I'm love that part. I ain't no hero, canned beans are great with me.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Thanks. I love you too. I put the small part in.

[@annagiaquinto9754]

How long do I cook the beans ? Ty. gREAT JOB BTW.

[@lawblue]

How would I do this using chicken broth to make it in to a soup ? Thank you 😊

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Not a problem. Just add the extra chicken broth to make a soup.

[@lawblue]

Thank you . I did that and it came out good! But I have to say I tasted it before adding the broth in and what a flavor it had!! 😋 I was sorry I added the broth lol but my dad likes it like a soup. Thanks for the recipe and getting back so quick !! 🤗

[@elizabethshaw734]

I use both canned and dried beans and which one I use depends on my mood. There is nothing wrong with canned beans!

[@danitara5128]

My mom toasts breadcrumbs to sprinkle on top she uses canned beans too who has time to soak beans?

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Great idea. Why go through 24 hours of soaking the beans right?

[@scorpion9311]

the feijoada here is so good, I think you don't know what it is (there isn't even a translation)

[@elizabethshaw734]

I was vegan for a long time. I was vegan when it wasn't cool.
