GREENS AND BEANS

 GREENS AND BEANS

INGREDIENTS: 2 BUNCHES ESCAROLE WASHED THOROUGHLY AND CUT UP, 1/2 CUP CHOPPED GARLIC, 4 TBS BUTTER, 1/4 CUP OLIVE OIL, 1 CAN CANNELLONI BEANS DRAINED BUT NOT RINSED,  1/2 CUP CHICKEN STOCK, 1 TSP CRUSHED RED PEPPER

OPTIONAL: SALT AND/OR GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE

SAUTE THE GARLIC IN THE OIL AND BUTTER FOR 3 MINUTES, ADD ESCAROLE AND SAUTE FOR ANOTHER 5 MINUTES. ADD EVERYTHING ELSE AND SIMMER 10 MINUTES. TASTE AND ADD MORE PEPPER OR A LITTLE SALT AS NEEDED. YOU CAN ALSO ADD PARMESAN CHEESE INSTEAD OF SALT. THAT'S WHAT I OFTEN DO.
