So, my challenge was to make the greens for both vegetarians and traditional tastes.
I cut the bitter stalks out of the Escarole and clipped up the rest with a scissors.  Then I blanched the greens for 3 minutes.
I chopped red pepper, onion, bits of a tofu based ham like bacon, a bit of crushed red pepper, and sautéed it in coconut oil and a bit of olive oil.  I added a bit of tarragon and a good amount of garlic, using this organic garlic grinder.  I'd have been liked fresh garlic, but found I was out.  I added a bit of turmeric and black pepper. 
I hand grated a fine piece of Romano that I found at Honest Weight.  I tasted a few.  This was absolutely the best.  For the parmesan I used flaked. 
All of it got mixed together and put in a large cast iron frying pan.  I added my homemade veggie juice.  This batch was a little sweet because I'd boiled some banana and apple with the usual veggie scraps.  I thought that would offset the bitterness of the escarole without my adding sugar.

On the side I snipped up a bunch of prociutto and fried it in olive oil.  This could be added to the dishes of those who eat meat.

The whole thing went over pretty well.  Key I think was the Romano and I don't have the brand name.  I'll have to get it.  I did not use tomato, but I might next time, a few halves of a grape tomato.  Elizabeth is not eating tomato just now.
