This dish is very versatile allowing you to choose different herbs/spices to adapt to both palette,seasons or what you have in! To accommodate children you can omit the spices/herbs from the flour/breadcrumbs build your plain escaroles first then add your seasonings to the flour/breadcrumbs and build the rest.
