Arugula

In the last week I tried Greek yogurt : the Key Lime is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

Turkey Bacon: Not exactly like bacon but satisfying enough that I can now have breakfast for dinner again without feeling guilty!

Acorn Squash: I always thought squash was yucky but I went back to buy a second one the same week. Delicious when baked and mixed with garlic!

I love trying new things!

Arugula with fresh-grated parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar, also a little oil if your calorie budget allows for it. Mmmmmmmm, heaven on a fork.

Arugula is great when you put it on a grilled chicken breast sandwhich!

On a whole wheat baguette with brie.

Steak tagliata (steak with arugula/rocket and parmezan):

For 1 person: Leave a beef fillet steak out of the fridge for at least 30min (needs to be room temperature). Season with salt and pepper. Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a skillet. Cook the steak on a medium-high heat, three minutes either side. Put the steak on a plate and cover with aluminium foil. Leave to stand for five minutes.
Pour the oil out of the skillet and heat another tbsp of olive oil in the same skillet. Add some fresh rosemary, a crushed clove of garlic, some grated lemon peel and a bit of lemon juice. Pour this dressing through a wire mesh strainer to get all the bits out.
Cut the meat in slices of 1/2 cm and add half of the dressing to the meat. Mix the rest of the dressing through a handful of arugula.
Put the arugula on a plate and put the meat on top. Then shave some parmesan over it.
Also nice with rosemary potatoes.


In a pasta salad with gorgonzola, cucumber, oregano and olive oil:

For 4 people: Cook 500gr penne pasta and drain, while saving the water. When it's still warm, add 3 tbsp olive oil, one tbsp of water and two tbsp of the gorgonzola and stir untill gorgonzola has mostly melted. If you want it creamier, just add some more of the boiled water. Season with oregano and some black pepper and let it cool off. Then add 180gr gorgonzola (crumbled), a sliced cucumber and 75gr of arugula.
