INGREDIENTS
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
4 bunches spring onions; 2 white and 2 red, green top removed, onion thinly sliced
Salt, to taste
8 slices sourdough bread
½ pound escarole, washed, dried well and sliced into bite sized pieces

PREPARATION
- Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and add a scant tablespoon olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook gently, stirring occasionally until they turn medium brown in color. Add a pinch of salt, set aside.
