In the box this week:

  • Eggplant

Arugula is a spicy green that can be tossed in a salad or sauteed.

Sauteed Arugula recipe

  • 5 ounces fresh arugula, washed and trimmed
  • 1⁄4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • pepper
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1⁄4 cup onion, chopped or sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
  1. In frying pan, heat chicken broth and spices to boiling.
  2. After bringing to a boil, add the arugula, tossing gently to cover all with the broth.
  3. Let sit for a minute or two, stirring occasionally, until all leaves are wilted. (Additional broth may be needed to keep moist.).
  4. This makes a great salad topping, or fantastic on top of lumpy mashed potatoes.
  5. **For those who want a more flavor-rich side, try the following:.
  6. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil to the pan first; heat oil and cook 1/4 cup chopped (or sliced) onion and 1 teaspoons minced garlic until onions are tender. Then proceed with the broth, arugula and spices.
