6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini (white) beans, drained
  • 1 anchovy filet
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 head escarole, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until bubbling and sizzling, about 20 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Stir in cannellini beans and bring to a boil. Cook until you can see the tops of the beans just below the surface of the liquid, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in anchovy fillet, oregano, and lemon zest; simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add escarole and reduce the heat to low. Cook and stir until escarole wilts, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and add another pinch of red pepper flakes.
