Arugula makes a great pesto. It's beautiful, fragrant, peppery, and bright. I blend it with almonds and garlic for a combo that was just amazing on a grilled steak. Subtle it's not, but that's okay sometimes.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups arugula leaves , or more to taste
- 0.33 cups olive oil
- 0.33 cups raw almonds
- 4 cloves garlic
- salt to taste
Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add arugula and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Remove arugula to a bowl full of ice water for several minutes until cold. Drain and wring out arugula.

Pulse arugula, olive oil, almonds, and garlic together in a blender, scraping down the sides, until mixture just becomes a coarse puree. Pour puree into a bowl and season with salt.

Nicole's Salmon Wellington
Nicole's salmon Wellington is much more elegant than it is difficult - it's really much easier than you think to make it. Encase a salmon filet capped with cream cheese, feta, and spinach in puff pastry, and bake until golden. It makes a beautiful presentation and the salmon will be moist and succulent.
Caramel Cod
This caramel cod is a twist on Vietnamese caramel chicken. Chicken is lightly floured and pan-fried; honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar create the caramel pan sauce. It's quick to make, too! It's delicious served with roasted broccoli and soba noodles.
