When the weather cools down,
I tend to cook more soups and chili.
Beans and escarole is one of our favorite cool weather meals.
And, it's quick, easy and healthy.
What's better than that?
Beans and Escarole
2 heads Escarole, wash well and chop
4 cans Small White Beans, drain and rinse
1 can Garbanzo Beans, drain and rinse
1 small can Tomato Paste
4 cups Water
Salt to taste
Garlic Powder to taste
Red Pepper Flakes to taste
Fresh shaved Parmesan
Wash escarole well, sometimes you'll find a bit of sand between the leaves. Once washed, chop and add to a large stock pot. I add 4 cups of water to pot and cook down escarole until wilted. When wilted add drained and rinsed beans to pot. Add salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes to taste and add tomato paste. Bring to medium boil, stirring gently. Lower heat to simmer and cook for about 1-2 hours. During this time add more water as the beans thicken. Add according to your preference-thick or more like a soup. (We like the consistency as shown in the photo above.) Serve and top with fresh shaved parmesan. We also like a nice piece of Italian bread on the side. Enjoy!

Yes when fall starts I begin making soups and chili too. Makes us nice and warm. I love this recipe. MIght try it soon.
Have a lovely weekend.
This sounds nice and easy! I love beans and I've never cooked with greens (besides spinach) before. I'm giving this a try-thanks:@)
Looks so delicious and easy too - can't beat that combination. Thank you!
I can't wait till it gets a little cooler, I want to make a big pot of soup or chile. I love cooking in the winter-can spend all day in the kitchen puttering. Of course I hate to cook in the summer! LOL!
Thank you for sharing the recipe, cooler weather is perfect for soup! We've had all kinds of soups this past week. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. hugs ~lynne~
Looks wonderful ! I'll save this for when we (finally) do cool down.

This sounds so good and I love dishes like this in the fall. What a great way to eat your greens too.
This looks delicious. Supposedly, there's this thing called cold weather (although I'm starting to doubt it's real!), and this would be prefect for when the colder months come along! Thanks for sharing the great recipe.
That looks wonderful! I would love to try this recipe, thanks for it.
Hugs, Cindy
That looks like a satisfying meal for a cold night, Lynn. I never think to use escarole.
