- 3 ounces pancetta (Italian bacon), cut into 1/3-inch dice
- 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 head escarole (about 6 cups), coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pancetta until the fat melts. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Add oil and onion; cook 5 minutes, until onion is softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add escarole, salt, and pepper; mix well. Cover and cook 10 minutes, until escarole is wilted. Remove cover, raise heat to medium-high, and cook to evaporate most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
