arugula
Arugula is spicy, and adaptable. And there are few things that don’t benefit from a bit of arugula either on, or in it. When purchasing, look for tender greens, with even color. Stay away from arugula that is yellowing, or wilting. A quick dunk in cold water can help revive arugula that is a little sad. Here are some of my favorite ways to enjoy this feisty green.
Ottolenghi Red Rice and Quinoa
Ottolenghi's beautiful red rice and quinoa recipe - a substantial, color-flecked platter showcasing citrus-dressed grains punctuated by pistachios, dried apricots, and arugula.
Roasted Beet and Blood Orange Salad with Spicy Greens
A beautiful beet salad, it can be done without the greens, or with just a bit of greens as a side dish. The vinaigrette is delicious, and the salad looks stunning as part of a larger spread. It would make a great addition to any winter buffet.
