Jacqueline Said:

arugula - what does it taste like? and is this a good xmas recipe?

We Answered:

Not unless you like italian pasta for christmas.

Arugula is spicy and bitter. I would serve it in a salad with walnuts, craisins or apples, and a sherry vinaigrette. ....(If i served it at all, on christmas.)

Watercress soup is a better greens/ christmas combo.

I'm making a dinner for a friends parents?

We Answered:

Excellent menu. I do have one suggestion though. Serving a casserole as a main course is sort of a large family dinner type of thing. Instead, just make a simple chicken breast served with asparagus and boiled red potatoes.

Trust me. This is much simpler than it looks!!!

-Grill 2 large chicken breasts on the stove with a 1 cloves worth of minced garlic and a little salt and pepper. While that is cooking you should be boiling 2 pots of about a 1/2 gallon of water with about 2 - 3 tablespoons of salt. throw in 10 - 12 peeled and trimmed asparagus in one and throw 4 red potatoes that have been prepped into the other. To prep the potatoes, quarter each potato and then cut each of those pieces in half (NOTE: DO NOT peel the skins off. This will give color to the presentation.)

-The chicken should take about 8 - 12 minutes each depending on the sized of the breast.

-Cook the asparagus just until the tips turn bright green. (about 5 minutes)

-Cook the red potatoes until fork tender. (about 7 - 10 minutes)

-Garnish the potatoes and asparagus with melted a little melted butter and some salt

Shannon Said:

Is the stems of arugula okay to serve in salads or is there other recipes that call for the stems?

We Answered:

Sure it is fine, as long as you don't mind the texture. Most people remove them because they don't like the texture of a mouth full of stems.

Sidney Said:

Salad with crumbly arugula mixture served atop LARGE flat mushroom?

We Answered:

that mushroom was more than likely a portobello maybe stuffed with arugula and spinach, the cheese maybe some type of blue cheese or feta cheese...only thing i can think of is a stuffed portobello w/ balsamic dressing...
