This mix of greens is a knockout blend of textures, and a short sauté in fruity olive oil mellows their slightly bitter flavor. Ingredients:
1 pound belgian endive (2 to 4), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces, discarding cores (4 cups) |
1 pound frisée, trimmed of tough or discolored leaves and remainder cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (about 10 cups) |
1 (1-pound) head escarole, trimmed of any tough or discolored leaves and remainder (including ribs) cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (about 10 cups) |
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Toss greens together, then divide into 2 batches.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add 1 batch of greens, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/40 teaspoon pepper and sauté, tossing with 2 wooden spatulas or tongs, until evenly wilted but still crunchy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 teaspoons lemon juice, tossing to coat. Transfer to a serving dish.
3. Repeat procedure with remaining oil, greens, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
