Ingredients

  • 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    This is delicious and very easy to make. The escarole has great taste and texture. I used red snapper since that was what I could find.

    This was pretty bland, but the entire family loved it after I added a bit of garlic powder! Served it over plain brown rice. Next time I will double the garlic and onions.

    Fantastic recipe! I added more onion and really cooked it down to caramelize it. I only needed one bunch of escarole. Again, fabulous tasting and very easy!
