Many of you have left comments requesting that I do something with dark, leafy greens. And I want you to know, it's not that I've been ignoring you. It's just that I've been ignoring you a little bit. I can't help it!! I love to cook with chocolate and fatty meat!! It's a problem.
But that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy cooking and eating healthy foods, so please, continue to bother me about it. I'll only ignore you a little bit.
I found this recipe in a Body and Soul magazine I read in a doctor's office (someone was hogging the May issue of People). It was delicious and simple to throw together. A great side for any dish. Here's the recipe.
sliced garlic...
toasted garlic...
escarole and chicken stock... yes, it will wilt...
seasoned with salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice...
Try it with bacon next time! That way you'll get your dark leafy greens AND glorious fatty meat in one dish. chop (or cut with scissors) a couple slices of thick bacon, fry and remove then add the greens till slightly wilted. Add chicken stock till they're cooked through, then add the bacon back to the pan. It is delish, and I'm actually making it tonight! I like using kale or collard greens, but I'll have to try escarole.
ReplyDeleteOh how I missed your blog! After 8 too many Chinese meals, I was making mental lists of things I wanted to eat when I got home, and several of your recipes came to mind.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish Siri! I'm with you on the fatty meat and chocolate though. I've even been known to combine the two on occasion...
