I loved escarole and beans (white cannelini beans). Never had it with the anchovies and black olives but sounds good. Was it in a vinagrette? Like red wine vineger and olive oil?

My dad used to grind up the meat for his own Italian sausage....and my mom would help him fill the casings. I guess he didn't like what was offered in New Jersey after growing up in New York City.

At least he knew what he was putting into it.

It was no white beans but made like a soup dish. I am not a cook so I leave it to the gourmet people to decide.
