Nonna Teresa Petruccelli-Formato’s Stuffed Escarole

Roman-born Nonna Teresa learned this recipe that honors All Souls’ Day from her Neapolitan mother-in-law. “My wonderful mother-in-law would say that stuffing the escarole and wrapping it up represented our loved ones’ eternal rest.” Nonna Teresa warns not to remove the base of the escarole, which will make tying the leaves down with kitchen twine difficult.
