    Beans and Greens is a classic Italian recipe that's as delicious and healthy as it is comforting. You'll want to make this easy regional specialty again and again!

    Check out these other great Italian recipes like Broccoli Rabe, Baked Ziti and Grandma's Dandelion Greens.

    Beans and Greens

    This post contains Affiliate Links. Please see the disclaimer here.

    Every area has local specialties. Here in Rochester, we have a large Italian-American population. This is awesome for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the tremendous amount of delicious Italian food that is available. One such dish is something that I've seen a lot of around these parts, but not so much anywhere else in the country; this Greens and Beans recipe.

    I've heard some people call these (or a variation of these) Utica Greens but those are not the same thing as Beans and Greens. It’s my understanding that a traditional Utica greens recipe includes things like peppers, bread crumbs and prosciutto (if you’re from Utica, please correct me if I’m wrong) Either way, my family has been making Greens and Beans for years and we love them dearly.

    This recipe is pretty darn fantastic for a few reasons. First and foremost they're easy and delicious and full of savory, garlicky flavor. Do I have your attention now? They're also pretty healthy being that the primary ingredients are escarole and beans. And since there's no meat, it's also pretty easy on your wallet (although it would be perfectly delicious with meat added!).

    Tips for making Italian greens and Beans

    • One item that makes life a lot easier (and takes out a little prep time) is a garlic press. Sure, you can totally chop the garlic, but I say, work smarter, not harder.
    • If you need to, boil the escarole in batches. One other gadget that makes it easier to do this without changing the water is a scoop colander, to scoop it directly from the pot into the saute pan when the greens are tender. This is also fantastic for pasta! You can totally make this without it, but it makes life easier.
    • Get the oil nice and hot over medium high heat before adding the garlic cloves. You'll reduce heat later when it simmers.
    • Don't burn the garlic- it'll add a bitter taste to the oil. Keep a close eye on it, turning often and if it burns, wash the pan and start over.
    • Always taste before serving and add salt and pepper if needed. For an xtra kick add even more red pepper flakes!
    • This is an excellent appetizer or side dish but it can also be a great main dish. Meatless Monday anyone?

    A bowl of escarole and beans with a spoon in it and the pan of it in the background. Also with bread on the side.

    What kind of greens do I use for this?

    Traditionally this is made with escarole, which is a mild green that isn't overly bitter like some of its cousins. I've heard of some using collard greens, but I personally don't view that as authentic to this recipe.

    What about the beans?

    I've always made this with Cannellini Beans but in a pinch Great Northern Beans work as well.

    Is beans and greens a good make ahead meal?

    Totally! It reheats well and lasts in the fridge all week!

    How do you serve beans and greens?

    This dish offers a ton of variation options. You can serve it over pasta. You can add meat to it (maybe pancetta or capicola, which you would add at the beginning or chicken or Italian sausage which you would add at the end). You can also add more broth and serve it as an escarole soup.

    Can you make greens and beans vegetarian?

    You can turn it into a true vegetarian dish but subbing out the chicken stock for veggie broth (maybe consider adding more garlic and crushed red pepper to up the flavor factor in that case). I personally enjoy it on it's own with some nice, crusty, warm bread to sop up all that fantastic sauce.

    Can you freeze greens and beans?

    This freezes well, so don't hesitate to freeze your leftovers. That's assuming you have leftovers, which we often do not. 🙂

    Prep Time 10 mins
    Cook Time 30 mins
    Total Time 40 mins
    Course Main Course, Side Dish
    Cuisine Italian
    Servings 6 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 bunches fresh escarole, cleaned, trimmed and cut into chunks
    • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
    • 5-6 garlic cloves, half of them whole, the other half minced or pressed
    • Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (depending how spicy you want it- start with less, you can always add more later)
    • 2 14.5 ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
    • 1-2 14.5 ounce cans chicken broth (if you use two it will be more like a soup)
    • Romano cheese, to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Boil the escarole for 5 minutes to par cook. You may need to do it in batches so as not to overload the pot. Drain and set aside. Note: you can also just add the greens raw in later steps but I learned to par cook them first.
    • While the escarole is boiling, heat the oil over medium high heat. 
    • Add 3 cloves of whole garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to taste (the more you add the spicier it will be- I encourage you to at least add a little). Stir and turn the garlic often until it is golden brown (keep an eye on it, if it burns you'll have to clean the pan and start over again).
    • Once the garlic cloves have been removed, add the beans, broth and using a garlic press, add the remaining garlic cloves into the pan. Cook for a couple minutes stirring frequently.
    • Add the escarole and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 15-20 minutes uncovered, stirring periodically.
    • Sprinkle with Romano cheese to taste (this replaces salt) and serve immediately. 

    Notes

    This keeps well for a week in the refrigerator and also freezes well.
    Make it an even more satisfying meal by serving with pasta, Italian sausage, chicken etc.

      Oh this sounds amazing! I love anything Garlic flavored, I think I'd add a little meat though - not too much! This would also be nice as a soup, yum! Goodness, I'm hungry now haha. I shall pin this to my pinterest board for future reference. Thank you for sharing! :)

      This looks delicious! The pictures remind me of the greens and beans you can get from a deli called Ciaccia's on the west side of Rochester. I don't get there as often as I'd like since we live on the east side but they are literally to die for.

      Greens & Beans and Utica Greens are two separate dishes. Most places that serve Utica Greens serve Greens & Beans as well. Both escarole based but Utica greens have no broth, and a whole bunch of other ingredients.

        Hi Jo- Google tells me that "for a recipe that calls for one 15-ounce can of beans, you can cook 3/4 cup (4.5 ounces) of the dried version and be in the ballpark. Conversely, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of dried beans, you'll need to buy two 15-ounce cans to have the 2+ cups worth of cooked beans the recipe will eventually yield." Let me know how it turns out!

      Just made this to bring to dinner party later today. Turned out excellent, thank you very much! I’ve been craving the food of “my people”, lol. Italian descent, Rochester (Greece) born and raised. Been living in eastern NC (Greenville) for 25+ years. Good food around here, but alas no good Italian food. Wegmans just opened in Raleigh! Dinner guests will sure appreciate this side dish! Thanks to whoever mentioned Ciaccia’s, forgot about that place and haven’t been there since a teen. Y’all have me planning a return to Monroe County now to go on Italian foodie tour. Savoia for sweets, Martusciello’s bread, Calabresella's sub, Pasta Villa etc., and maybe Red’s Brook House to see old Greece folk. I’m hungry now! Thanks again for recipe.

        You could, although they cook down a lot more than escarole, so you might consider a meatier green like chard. Good luck!

      Jessie, Born in Rochester, moved to Massachusetts as a kid then moved back to Conesus Lake when I got married, now in Richmond Virginia. There was a great little Italian storefront restaurant not far from Nick Tahoe's that got me hooked on Greens and Beans. Making your recipe for our friend's party, Soup Night, where the guys have to cook. My wife is a vegetarian so I will be using vegetable stock in lieu of the chicken, and I will have some sauteed spicy Italian sausage on the side to add in. Can't wait to try this!! I will post again after the party and let you know how it went!! Thanks again for posting this recipe, I am excited to try this!!

      I’m from Rochester area too! This is one of my favorite recipes! Reminds me of my Nani’s home cooked meals, but soooo simple! I’m a grad student so I don’t have time for complex meals. This one has all the flavor, without the effort. Love it!

      Born and raised Rochester Italian here also! Just recently moved to Victor. Have been using this recipe for a long while and I always add a little spinach (I love spinach!) and have had rave reviews. Occasionally add some pasta and spicy sausage, YUM! Thanks!

      Greens and beans is an old family recipe that has been passed down through the years in our family. The only difference is that we add sliced pepperoni which gives it a wonderful flavor or hot Italian sausage. I use spinach because Escarole is hard to fine where I live. I would use all the garlic depending on the size. Also you must serve it with crusty Italian bread or French bread.

        Carolyn those sound like some seriously delicious additions! And I'm with you- crusty bread is an absolute must (although I'll take it with any meal!). Thanks for sharing <3

        Hi Constance- I'd say this feeds about 6 servings. And I'd use a heavy hand on broth and add some small pasta for a more filling soup. Enjoy :)

      Very yummy. Made it exactly to directions but found that my pierogi's were falling apart on low close to 3 hours. Still turned out good.

        I'm glad you enjoyed it- I never tried it with pierogis.
