Preparation
Place greens or escarole in a large pan and then place in layers: potatoes, onions, beans and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper. Cover and steam on low heat until the pile has reduced by at least half. Stir and cook covered until greens are thoroughly wilted.
If you like a creamier texture, remove some of the cooked beans and potatoes and purée with vegetable or chicken stock.
Just before serving, splash on lemon juice. Sprinkle on grated Romano or Parmesan cheese. Serve with a crusty bread and extra-virgin olive oil. It makes a complete meal when served over pasta.
