Add the escarole ribbons and a little salt, and saute for a minute or two, stirring occasionally to coat the greens with butter. Add 1/2 cup stock, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Add the rest of the stock, bring to a boil, stir in the rice, then cover. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, the rice should not be mushy. Remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese, and adjust for seasoning.
