Beans stewed with arugula

We found this tasty, unusual recipe in The Greek Vegetarian by Diane Kochilas.  Arugula becomes milder when you cook it.  When we made this dish, we added radish greens and used a mixture of canned chickpeas and black-eyed peas instead of dried navy beans.  The recipe below is our adaptation of the original.

Indian-style radishes and peas

This is a scaled-down version of a recipe from Yamuna Devi’s The Vegetarian Table: India.  If you don’t like the pungent flavour of fennel seeds, just leave them out.

1 tsp. ghee or oil

½ tsp. fennel seeds

½ tsp. grated fresh ginger
