Anyone got a recipe for...

**hepcat** · 10-08-2008, 11:54 AM

I've got a plethora of arugula at the moment and I need something more interesting than sprinkling it on eggs like an herb. I've tried sauteeing it up like spinach with garlic but it's just a little too harsh tasting. Any ideas?

I also have some acorn squash - anyone have any good recipes?

Can't help you with the arugula, but we bake the acorn squash like a pumpkin. Just cut in in half, clean out the seeds, add butter and brown sugar(my aunt adds syrup or honey to hers) and bake.

Mmm, that sounds good lildago! I baked up a pumpkin this weekend and it made 4 loaves of pumpkin bread. I wonder if I could do something similar with the acorn squash?

I'm sure you could, hep.

Arugola is great in salads. You can also make a pizza with mascarpone, prosciutto and arugola. I think you have to add the arugola at the end.

I just love love love arugula with spinach, pine nuts, goat or feta cheese and a good balsamic vinegar! It is good fresh on a burger too for a kick!

Love the prosciutto idea mmmm sounds good!!

How about arugula pesto? You can freeze what you don't use but pesto comes in handy for me when I can't decide what to make for dinner.

I love arugula, it has a slightly bitter taste. There is a gourmet deli near my home that makes an awesome sandwich. It consists of arugula, two thick slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, sundried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar drizzed, all on a fresh round roll! I used to buy it for lunch at time, now I make it at home! It really hits the spot when you want to eat healthy and light!

I happen to have a lot of walnuts on hand - thanks for this recipe, this looks fantastic.

I get from the gist of these suggestions that I really wasn't going the right direction with the arugula. Thanks, everyone!

I have looked at many sites and I can't seem to find a recipe matching these ingredients so if anyone has a recipe close to it, please let me know. It's a dinner casserole and it has chicken, green chilis, cheese and rice. Probably a creamed soup or sour cream.
Thanks
