ARUGULA WITH ITALIAN PLUMS AND PARMESAN



Arugula with Italian Plums and Parmesan image

For the best play between sweet, hot, and salty ingredients, look for spiky arugula, labeled "rocket" or "rucola," at the farmers' market. It's much more peppery and sturdy than what you'll find at the supermarket.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Arugula Salad With Grilled Apricots and Pistachios image

Pungent arugula contrasts beautifully with fruit of all kinds. Grilling the apricots deepens their flavor and makes them stand out against the arugula even more. You'll be able to make this beautiful salad only during the summer's short apricot season, and even then, you should buy the fruits at the farmers' market so you can sample them to make sure they are juicy and sweet.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm plums for grilling. Avoid plums that are too soft or bruised.
  • To prevent the plums from sticking to the grill, lightly brush them with olive oil before grilling.
  • Grill the plums over medium heat until they are slightly charred and tender, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Let the plums cool slightly before slicing them.
  • Arugula salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled plums. Simply toss the arugula with the grilled plums, crumbled goat cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
  • Grilled plums can also be used in savory dishes, such as grilled chicken or pork chops with grilled plums.

Conclusion:

Grilled plums are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. They are a great way to add a touch of sweetness and smokiness to your favorite recipes. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy plums, try grilling them!
