January 18, 2019]( The holidays may be behind us, but we're still in the depths of winter, and that calls for some hearty (and healthy) foods. This week we're focusing on winter greens. Broccoli rabe, turnip greens, collard greens, chard, kale, and escarole are some of the many greens in season at this time of year. For an ideal weeknight side dish, try our [Quick Cooked Greens with Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes]( in which you quickly blanch the greens to reduce bitterness and sauté them for just 5 minutes. [Roasted Salmon and Broccoli Rabe with Pistachio Gremolata]( uses just one baking sheet to cook a nourishing meal featuring broccoli rabe flavored with parsley, lemon, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Escarole plays a starring role in [Tuscan White Bean and Escarole Soup (Acquacotta)]( one of Italy’s traditional bean and vegetable soups.
