Instructions
- 1
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden at the edges and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Watch closely, as the garlic can brown quickly.

Add the escarole in large handfuls, turning with tongs or a wooden spoon to coat in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the escarole has wilted down and is bright green, about 4–5 minutes.
