Escarole Pie (Neapolitan)

 



My Mom used to make this on New Year’s Eve and it’s very unique with all of those wonderfully exotic Neapolitan flavors like capers, anchovies, raisins and pine nuts!

2 pizza dough recipes enough for 2 pizzas  (my dough recipe here)

1 bunch Escarole chopped up

2-3 tablespoons Capers drained

10-12 olives drained  ( I use a combo of Italian green and dry cured black olives or kalamata) 

2-3 anchovies 

2-3 garlic cloves minced

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Small Handful golden or regular raisins soaked in warm water or sometimes I use warm white wine to soften then drained  

Red pepper flakes to taste

Egg wash

Directions 

Preheat oven to 400

Clean, chop and Boil escarole 5-10 minutes and drain well!

In the dried out pot and add olive oil to saute  garlic until soft but not brown, add anchovies and cook until melted.

Add escarole and raisins and sauté several minutes, Italians like their veggies soft, add the rest of ingredients and cook until soft and melded together.

Taste for salt and spice and Set aside to cool.

Cut dough in half and roll out into 12-14 inch circles, place ingredients in center and add the top piece crimping edges to seal.

Add egg wash and make holes in top.

Bake 20-25 minutes. 

Cool slightly before slicing like a pizza!
