Heating Up a Cast Iron Pan: A Journey to Creating the Perfect Greens and Beans
If you've never had greens and beans before, you're missing out on something incredible. We're going to start with some chopped up garlic and onion, sauté them down until they're soft and fragrant. You can head over to our website to get the exact recipes for this dish.
As we add a little oil to the pan, the aroma of garlic and onion fills the air. The sausage has been smoked to perfection, and we're going to chop it up into small bite-sized pieces. We'll add these to the onions and garlic, along with some of our special seasoning blend - it's got red pepper flakes in there, which is an essential ingredient for this dish.
Now, take your chopped up escarole (or any other leafy green you like) and load it into the pan. There's no such thing as too much greens, just keep forcing them down into the pan until they start to sear. We're using chicken stock with chicken broth to steam these greens until they're tender and delicious.
As we wait for the greens to cook, let's talk about how easy this recipe is to make. It's a perfect side dish for any meal, whether you're having brisket or something else entirely. And if you can't get to the pit (where we source our ingredients), don't worry - you can easily make this at home.
Now that our greens are cooking, it's time to add in some white beans, specifically a type of bean called Canelli. We'll also sprinkle in some more chopped garlic and Italian seasoning to give it an extra boost of flavor. And because we're using the pit's special blend of spices, you know this dish is going to be something special.
As we simmer the greens and beans together, let's get started on making some garlic bread to go along with it. We'll start by roasting some fresh garlic until it's soft and fragrant. Then, we'll mix it up with some olive oil from our pit, which adds a unique flavor to this dish.
To make the garlic bread, simply spread some of that delicious mixture onto sliced Italian bread and top it with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese. You can serve this as is, or add some extra virgin olive oil for an extra kick. And because we're using the pit's special blend of spices, you know this garlic bread is going to be out of this world.
Finally, let's take a look at our finished dish. The combination of tender greens and beans, crispy garlic bread, and savory sausage is truly something special. Whether you're looking for a new side dish or just want to try something different, this recipe from the pit is sure to hit the spot.
