Scafata of Lima Beans and Escarole
Scafatan of Lim It works well as a rather expensive main course. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 35 minutes. Head to the store and pick up pancetta, escarole, chilies, and a few other things to make it today.
Instructions
In a 12 to 14 inch saute pan, heat olive oil and pancetta until pancetta is soft and translucent.
Add onion, chilies and lima beans and cook until onion softens, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Add escarole, tomato sauce and pepper and cook until wilted and soft.
Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat until translucent, but not brown (about 10 minutes).
Add the thyme and carrot and cook 5 minutes more.
Add the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to just bubbling, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Serve immediately, or set aside for further use. The sauce may be refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for up to 6 months.
