INSTRUCTIONS
Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water for about 20 minutes or until they plump up. Drain. In a small saute pan, toast the pine nuts by stirring them frequently over medium-low heat. As soon as the pine nuts are light brown transfer them to a small dish. Remove any wilted or bruised leaves from escarole. Wash well under cold running water. Drain and cut into strips. Place the olive oil, garlic, and escarole into a large sauce pan. Season with salt to taste. Saute over medium low heat until the escarole is tender, about 10 minutes. A few minutes before the escarole is ready, add the raisins, pine nuts and black olives and toss. Grill or lightly toast the bread. Rub with the cut sdie of the garlic cloves and drizzle with olive oil. Distribute the escarole over the grilled bread and serve immediately.
