A New York State Kind Dish

We could probably forgive you if you thought that many favorite foods associated with New York are of the Italian variety.  After all, you have hearty, bready favorites like lasagna, spaghetti, ravioli.  Fair enough, but not every Italian dish follows the pasta bowl. Chef and write Michele Scicolone stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about a spicy dish that's mostly vegetable based.
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

The author of The Italian Vegetable Cookbook told Tonia about her recipe for Spicy Escarole,  She takes garlic, prosciutto, hot cherry peppers or Pepperoncini, and sautes that together with breadcrumbs and cheese (Parmesan is good).  She then puts the mix under a broiler for a crunchy crust. It's a delicious combination that'll leave your guests asking for more, which is good because her recipe makes a lot.
