Ingredients:
1 large onion, sliced
4 Tbs. olive oil
2 heads escarole, 3/4 to 1 lb. each, washed well and cut into 1-inch strips
Salt

4 servings

This makes a savory side dish all on its own or a tasty stuffing for a calzone.

In a large pan, sauté the onion in oil until lightly browned. Add the escarole with the moisture clinging to it. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the escarole is tender.

Remove the cover, raise the heat under the pan, and cook until the moisture is boiled away, about 5 minutes. Salt to taste.

Variations: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add chopped anchovies or chopped olives and capers. Or add small pieces of cooked Italian sausage to the chopped onion.
