Just very recently have we been able to get our boys to eat any greens at all. My older son recently discovered he likes his “leaves” with oil and rice vinegar, while my younger son, sticking only to raw spinach, likes his as “plain leaves”. So, Arugula with its sharp, almost peppery flavor, at this time in our house is a grown ups only “leaf”. I know what the boys mean, using too much arugula can be overwhelming, but used sparingly it can be really delicious. I have used arugula in salads, sandwiches, smoothies, juicing, omelettes, puréed in soups etc. I find it really delicious especially when it’s paired with something creamy.
Lunch today was an omelette with arugula, farm fresh eggs, and creamy Gouda cheese. As I mentioned before I like to pair arugula with something creamy and Gouda was the perfect match. I really enjoyed this omelette. Quick, simple and perfectly balanced I thought. Might I suggest a smoked Gouda and possibly the addition of some of those mushrooms we got in the share?
Thats it for me today. Stay warm and safe as we enter another few DAYS of snow. Until tomorrow, Sunday night dinner with Jess. Enjoy!
