YUM! I was hesitant since I think escarole can be quite bitter, but this was delicious. I used 3 large cloves of garlic but everything else was the same. I added some cooked chicken sausage in towards the end since I had it leftover in the fridge and thought it would go well to round out the meal. It did. I will make this again.

Excellent classic recipe. Great as written as a side dish. For a change I sometimes cook the escarole in chicken broth and make it a soup, thickening it up a bit with cornstarch. Served this was with bread it can be a meal in itself. I also adjust the garlic accordning to taste. Thanks for delicious simplicity!

Excellent simple recipe. I added a bit more garlic (3 cloves total). I also made it a bit more soup like - I added chicken stock (which means you obviously need to transfer to the beans/escarole to a pot). You can throw some white wine in there too. Serve with a nice crusty bread and great bottle of red wine and you are good to go. This recipe is delicious as is too, so you can keep it as is!!

Easy and delicious. I sliced browned bratwurst and added. Yum!

This was my first attempt at making escarole and I'm not in love with it, but I probably will try it again. It's something different. I agree with suggestions about using more garlic. I put quite a bit in mine and wouldn't mind even more. I would say that the combination of beans with the escarole is a nice combination.

This was yummy and escarole and beans is one of my favorites! I followed the recipes as is, it was so easy to make.

One of my favorite meals. Add red pepper to taste, some like it spicy, some mild. Love it!

I was skeptical about adding the liquid from the bean can, but decided to follow the recipe as written. It was delicious, very easy and well recieved by my DH. Next time I'll try adding the Trader Joe's Turkey meatballs for a full meal.

We have this quite often -- it's a nice change of pace from potatoes or rice. Easy and healty!

Delicious, I loved this. The only things that I did different was to add 2 cloves of minced garlic, and to drain and rinse the white beans. I know that the juice in the can lends to the "creamy" texture, but I didn't want all of that sodium and starchy liquid. Very tasty and healthy, will make again!

This is an excellent recipe! So easy!!! I made it twice the way it is, and once I substituted swiss chard for escarole - still great! Of course, always cut leaves in the large pieces and cook 1 head of escarole first, transfer to a plate and cook second one. While beans cook, you'll have just enough time to prepare greens, and they won't overflow or stick to the bottom.

Loved it..It took me back to childhood..Mom use to make all the time...I added some small sausage meatballs..it was a complete meals..thanks i'll make over and over again...

Awesome and homey. This is just great comfort food. It will accompany any dish.

I'm not sure - wait for dinner tonight! BUT, don't cook escarole in oil in a large frying pan - it needs a DEEP pan. I cut up the escarole in large pieces, discarding the bitter white base, but it overflowed the frying pan. While I was trying to stir it down, pieces flying all over the stove, the bottom started scorching. After digging out the really burnt pieces, I added a little water, simmered it until tender (all on VERY LOW heat.) Next came the beans. Being starchy, they also started to stick to the bottom of the new, clean pan - but I kept stirring. I didn't know if they should turn to mush or keep their bean shape. Anyway, I eventually combined the escarole and the beans, according to the recipe. It doesn't exactly look like the picture. Now I have to see if his honour eats it tonight with relish (his, not the kind in a jar.) I know I will.

Always excellent...BE SURE to cut off the tough stems and cut the escarole in smaller pieces. Try cutting up pieces of pepperoni in it WOW.

I learned this recipe a long time ago from a fabulous elder italian grandma. It must have a taste of garlic and even better the garlic should be cooked well almost burnt. You should cut the pieces of escarole small or it becomes a long stringy glob. Also, you can make it into a soup by adding chicken stock and easier for those who don't like the thick gooey consistency. This meal satisfies your hunger without a doubt. Please use at least 4 cloves of garlic and sprinkle some granulated garlic as well. You can add very small meatballs with the quart or so of chicken stock and it is like italian wedding soup

Good side dish, really easy to prepare. Only thing I would change is add some garlic powder along with more garlic in the mix. And yes TWeak the cooking time, my beans ended up being mushy. Good idea though.
