That is exactly how we make escarole & beans from the region of Basilicata, Bravo Vincenzo
My grandmother used to make similar dishes. I never paid much attention to how she cooked it. I'm so glad you posted this. I've already made it a couple of times and last night's came out absolutely delicious. I kept saying to my husband, How can something so simple, taste so good? I make other "peasant dishes" that seem to have made it to mainstream, like they discovered something new. When I was a kid, my friends would make fun of the foods we Italians ate, joke's on them now. I totally got a kick out of, "We're Italians, we don't measure." SO true. :)
TheBinghamHouse thank you very much, I appreciate you watching! I can remember back in public school on Friday never being able trade my sandwich for “public school pizza” because it was made on a Italian roll! The other kids though it was too hard!! 🤣🤣🤣
Sissies lol
This is the video that got me hooked on not another cooking show 😀
Ahhhh the garlic...❤❤❤ love it..this dish is so good for you and tastes so good
I made this and wow!! Yum.
Brilliant, simply brilliant. Your contempt for precise measurements is........simply brilliant. I'm making this; I love escarole.
I could smell that escarole and beans through my cell phone. 😋😋😋 wonderful tutorial in how to make it. Grazie 🍷👍
just ate that today! marone! so good!
Easy to do! Thank you.
Pasta was a great idea...Gonna have it that way next time. Thanks for sharing!
sounds good, let us know how you like it!
@@VincentCarneglia Will do!
Well I have been looking for a good escarole recipe and I found it. It came out delicious. I like your style.
You’re absolutely right about Italians don’t time things, (or measure either). They go by sound, smell, and just experience. My Nana made this and so did my mom,, now I do, and I taught my daughter. It soooo good.
This was awesome!
Exactly how my mom and now myself do it.
Measurements?
So such thing!
Glad you enjoyed it Rocky!
Hey man, that's some real at home, no frill stuff there, great job gonna try that 💯😎
Looks beautiful I can’t wait to see how mine turns out 😊
Yum I'll have to try it , all good food starts with onion and garlic oh and olive oil
Hey V...just whipped it per your steps, red wine on the table and Italian bread. I added sweet sausage. Awesome! Rich from Cali.
Rich I hope you enjoyed it!!
Sounds like heaven
Awesome
OMG...I've never had scarole with pasta I've got it draining right now and came upon your video looking for something different. I'm making it this way now !!
I usually just make it like soup. This time it's YOUR way. I grew up on this stuff. Love and respect from the Long Island Italian in Florida.
Thank you.
Oh, and I just subscribed. I love your Italian personality !
Lovely, thanks for this nice recipe & your nice company. Viva d'Italia. 😉
LOVE IT!!! SUBSCRIBED!! Thank you!!!🥰
I will have to try escarole & beans with pasta! It looked good and I know it tasted good!
You should try it that way, sooo good!!
What I like to do, and what my grandmother from the old country taught me a great trick for flavor is throw in a stick of pepperoni, chopped up into two pieces or more. What a great flavor it gives it.
Atsa nice! Bellissimo!
Love your video this looks so delicious 😋
Susan Badalucca thank you very much I appreciate it!
Genius...we know how to cook, no measuring needed...live the amount of garlic!
It was dead on 👍thanks MerryChristmas
A brother that looks great thanks for the recipe I’m just going to lighten up on the onion and garlic just a tiny bit❤️👍I’m going to do it on Sunday yummmmmmmm
How did it turn out Walter?
And it gets better every day. I love to make it ahead of time or the day before.
I have to be honest..I've never seen it served with pasta🤔😉looks outstanding...thanks Vincent 👏👏👏
Me too! But I love pasta of any kind and pasta fagioli. What’s not to like?i always cook a whole # when I cook pasta and put the second half in the freezer. Easy enough to throw it in some hot water and add to the dish. Thanks for the idea. I bet the lady of the household or your friends love to let you cook!
❤ this guy
Yummy!
Di Di thanks Di Di !
WOW this is the FIRST recipe I finally found that makes it the same as me. Adding the pasta, sheeze no one I clicked on was adding the pasta Im like hmmm you do know its missing pasta. I usually add ditalini but any small pasta is good. Ciao
Loved your video, and I made it following your steps. I didn’t use as much garlic, a little less oil. One thing I added was a small amount of cut up ham steak, which I added to the sauté. My grandmother used to add the juices or soup from boiling a ham bone, which had a subtler flavor than the ham steak. Have you ever used ham or whatever toadd a little meat flavor?
Well it was delicious! Mom used to get the leftovers and sauté them in olive oil. Then she would add pieces of crusty Italian bread, which would soak up the juices. This so-called “peasant” food is extremely healthy and scrumptious.
Yes, like buy a little bit of pancetta and put it in the pan first and fry that and then do the rest. My ShopRite has pancetta over near the deli section in these sealed plastic packages. I asked the guy in the meat department for pancetta, and he didn’t know what I was talking about, then I found it over by the deli section.🇮🇹
Great job ❤old friend
Danika is that you? Tell me something only we would both know!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video!
Fern Spino thanks !!
Vincent Carneglia in fact, I made your recipe today. Usually I have the escarole just with beans but loved it with pasta.
Fern Spino I love eating it just with a nice loaf of Italian bread as well!!
Good video bud. Escarole is a very tasty green. I use the same trick with cutting my onions too.
Thanks m1shadow, I appreciate the kind words! I'm still looking for a trick that keeps me from crying when I cut the onions! hahaha!
Very nice...
Thank you!
Nicely done, Vincent! Ever try it with a little chicken soup or stock? Another twist is with bacon or pancetta. Just add a fresh loaf of toasted Italian bread, done. Any which way, it's my favorite dish growing up as a kid, still love it today.
milehighed5280 all good suggestions, I love it with just a loaf of bread myself!! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
I add chicken broth to mine for a wetter version Delicious 😋
that is awesome...i love that old school italian food...vince..you should open up a restaurant
kingofthecrease30 thanks, maybe I'll open the restaurant in my retirement!
Hey uaio, you did a good job! It was fun watching you! Buona fortuna e grazie!
I'm not Italian but I cooked just like you do. I use my senses and that's why it's difficult for me to teach people to cook. I used to give cooking lessons and I had to measure out all my recipes and then I put them in a cookbook as well and it was so tedious I wanted to scream!
Yum!!!!!!
I'm not sure you used enough garlic....As if your accent didn't give it away, when you showed the bread I knew exactly where you were from! Making escarole and beans today but my crusty style bread will come from Panera since in SC we don't have Italian bakeries. Manja!!
Bobbi Bellardine hahahaha thanks for watching, enjoy your escarole and beans!!
Bueno
Like no one knows that. . . I guess a lot of people don’t know how to “properly” slice an onion. Seriously, I’m 100% Italian and I was so skeptical about you at first, (some people that never even heard of Scaloe. I know what it is and cook with it like my nana did. It’s so good for you. Anyway, just wanted to say you’re impressive. I wish my man would cook, let alone good Italian food. Sounds like you’re from NY. 💕
Nice job Vincenzo. You are so right about us Italians never using set measurements to cook. How about some videos on pasta fazool or fagioli as they say , peppers and eggs, spaghetti alio olio, and pasta lendica.
first of all may I say your so cute and adorable and funny I make this dish too try it with Bacon I fry the bacon half way then I throw in my garlic then my beans one can water then my escarole iike my a little bit more on the soupy side! wold love to see more of your videos thank you for shareing
Angel Marandola thank very much! That’s exactly the same way my father makes it, more on the soupy side! I also like to eat it that way as well! Especially with I nice loaf of Italian bread!
I thought Italians cooked by eye but you couldn't cook the pasta without looking at the box to see how long it takes, I still enjoyed the video thanks
Great video!!! You're soooo funny! Can you do a video demonstrating Italian pasta sauce? 🙏🏽
bmewbullies hi, thank you! We did a video for spaghetti sauce, check it out!!
oh my God! Where ARE you!?? I just discovered your channel.. COME BACK!
That Big Head/Little Head joke KILLED ME!
Now for video binging!
💕🍜
He does have a funny sense of humor. When he said Ah! I burnt my hand! But you really didn’t. 🤣Oh my gosh, that’s something my father would do
Great video… I use a salad spinner to dry the escarole.
what about the grated cheese,? what kind of italian are you? :) looks Great!
You had me laughing and chuckling the whole video!
I'm glad we could get you laughing!!
Keep it coming!
Hi, you must be from Philadelphia! I can tell by the way you say water🤣🤣. You’re probably in South Philly❤. Love you from Northeast Philly. And I’m gonna make this.
I just laughed my butt off watching this. Thanks for the hilarious tutorial. Looking forward to watching more. 😂
xseaangelx thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow u cook like me when I Escarole I also make chicken sausage Cut them up in circles Omg very try it
I made sure the escarole was dry before sauteing it, by placing the washed leaves in a salad spinner.
mpmc76108 good move!!
Vincent..how about a salad spinner for drying the scadole?😉
Shout out from Italian Buffalo your dead on brother
Giada did not say to clean Escarole. He is correct, it can be very dirty and you will ruin your soup. He's terrific, adds comedy to the drama of cooking Escarole.
❤
Where's the bacon 🤣 👍
yo this guy is funny haha. And this is the way my grandma makes the scherole and beans, not all liquidy and shit like the other videos I seen. It should be nice and thick. But she adds sausage too so it's a little different
NickTheKid 98 thanks buddy I appreciate it!!
Invest 10 bucks in a salad spinner from Walmart and you will have super dry scarole!
Thanks. Add a little stock to it and you have a delicious soup (I actually love the method you've proffered much better on it's own). I'm Italian-Sicilian-American. I love sharing our foodie heritage with others. What's with the secrets?! Check out chefs like Chef Jean Pierre on youtube who are Michelin Star Chefs and hold nothing back!
Try using bacon grease instead I use a whole pound only cook it half way nerver chrispy then had your Beans and Garlic I never tried it with onions use a whole pound of bacon chopped up and I use chicken broth instead of water comes out soooo good
Philly?
Oh yeah as soon as he said water, I knew he was from Philly. I am Philadelphia also, and very proud of my accent.😁
#YrewCrew Saw you on #Yrew I had to stop by show some love my man! You can cook Join me on a live stream!

Never heard pasta with escrole
Use a big can of chicken broth if you like it more on the soupy side
That's legit

OMG my heart is pounding. Too much oil IMHO. My family was from Tuscany that is not how to ruin Shcarole. :)
Cherokee Rose it’s just olive oil great for you👍
Hey, Vincent is very clear at demonstrating & entertaining. But, Vincent, ya gotta lose that knit hat. And the camera work needs a lot of improvement.
Dude, get a salad spinner! Good grief.
Nooooooooo!!!!!!! You're supposed to drain and rinse those beans! Add a little chicken stock!!!!!
Needs bacon
I'm gonna tell yah, stick to your day job.
