Thursday Night: Beans and Greens

Yesterday I was craving comfort food and after runnning through the options, beans and greens seemed to be the obvious choice.

I used cannellini beans (canned), escarole, the remaining zuckerhut, the remaining smoked pork neck, leeks, white wine, thyme, rosemary, sage, and some fresh garlic added at the last minute. I served the delicious soup drizzled with good olive oil and topped with chopped parsley.

We also had a green salad.

Wine: Quasso 2003 Barolo: this isn't a stunning wine, but the combination of fruit and still-rough tannins was a pleasant change of pace.
