Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic and carrots together until onions become translucent, 3 minutes. Add beans, bay leaf, red pepper, cheese and stock. Bring to a simmer and stir in escarole. Cook, covered, until gravy thickens and flavors meld, about 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, divide escarole and beans evenly among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with freshly grated cheese, drizzle with olive oil and serve with warm, olive-oil-rubbed toast.
