VIDEO: Using Fresh Arugula
Arugula is in season in Barrington and Chef Erin Bailey tells us her favorite way to use it.
This week in Barrington, we have arugula in season. Arugula is more common in Italian cuisine. It has a really strong flavor which not everyone likes.
My husband and I love it, even just in a salad with lemon, garlic and olive oil. If that's a little bit too much for you, you can use it in a smaller quantity as a garnish for grilled meat.
