Escarole has a slight, pleasant bitterness balanced by a sweetness. It turns mild, even sweeter, and surprisingly buttery when cooked.

Instead of a 1/2 cup of water, I added 1/4 water and 1/4 chicken broth. Added some onion powder and will try garlic powder next time. Good recipe and easy.

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!
