Thank you so much SLO Veg friends and families for the opportunity to serve you.  We love your support while sustaining our beautiful communities. We wish everyone a healthy and happy week. Cheers, Rachael and Dedicated SLO Veg Team

Let’s Get Creative in the Kitchen This Week!
What is Escarole?

Article shared from the SpuceEats

Also known as broad-leaved endive, Bavarian endive, Batavian endive. Escarole has broad, curly green leaves, and a slightly bitter flavor. The outer leaves tend to be darker in color and more bitter, while the inner leaves are more tender. The chicory is often bunched and placed with heads of fresh lettuce, away from its close relatives radicchio and endive. It’s more expensive than lettuce since it is considered a specialty item. This vegetable requires little preparation before using, often only needing a quick rinse.

How to Cook With Escarole

The wider, darker outer leaves tend to be a bit chewy and bitter, making them ideal for cooking. The leaves can be sautéed or braised similarly to collard greens and are frequently used in pasta and soup recipes, especially in Italian cuisine.

For a salad, the inner, lighter-colored leaves are a good choice. Tear them into pieces and toss with other ingredients and vinaigrette. Raw escarole pairs well with fruit in salads as well as cheese, including strongly flavored varieties such as blue cheese and goat cheese. Whether cooked or raw, escarole pairs well with strong salty and sweet flavors which balance its bitterness nicely. Click >here for taste description, recipes, storage tips, and more.
