Escarole Greens & Beans Recipe

Today’s recipe would make a great, hearty dinner for Halloween before heading out for trick or treating.

Filling up on savory sautéed greens and cannellini beans would help counteract some of the acid and sugar in any candy your kids get into.

You can also substitute chickpeas for the cannellini beans. Or skip the beans altogether if you just want to enjoy the greens.

Did you know that eating plenty of greens like escarole is one of the best ways to improve your sleep? Find out other ways to get better rest on Thursday in my latest blog post.

ESCAROLE GREENS & BEANS

Ingredients [Serves 2]

• 2 large heads escarole, rinsed, drained, and coarsely chopped
• 1 15 oz. can cannellini beans (I use Eden Organic, rinsed well)
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt to taste (Celtic Grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt)
• Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

In large sauté pan, add olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan) and the garlic. Sauté over medium heat until garlic begins to brown. Add escarole, sea salt, and pepper and cook until wilted but still with a little crunch. Add beans, toss and cook until the beans are heated through.
