Wilted Escarole with Anchovies and Garlic pp. 151
And Now a Word From Escarole...
What's green, has not smooth leaves, and is related to chicory? You've got it, it's escarole. I bought these heads at the farmers market from a very cheery elderly man. He even talked me into buying some watercress, and I still have to figure out what to do with that. According to fruitandveggieguru.com,
More Fish
Again, instead of using anchovies, I used herring. I really like the taste of herring and I thought it would not be a bad idea. Anyways, I have no idea where Wal-Mart carries anchovies. And no, please do not tell me.
Result
The picture may have a heart, but I did not love this dish. Mr. Bishop said that it was not supposed to be bitter, but it had a bitter taste to it. I was too tired to really want to enjoy this meal too. Oh well. The kids? Well, they are not that into this kind of fish yet. One day.
Other News
I made some chicken stock using the chicken feet I purchased. Looking forward to seeing if it really tastes that good or not. This deserves it's own special post, so be looking for a "Chicken Feet Special" sometime soon...

"Escarole contains only 20 calories and has 65% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A."That was all I was able to find out about the vegetable, so far...
