I use foodnetwork.com for a lot of ideas for recipes. The link below is for a nice arugula pesto, which can then be used for pasta, chicken, and other dishes.

lentils with bitter greens

Here is a great recipe for arugula and lentils, I substituted romaine for endive, and used lots of arugula that first week.

lentils with bitter greens

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Servings: Serves 2.
from Gourmet Dec 1994
Ingredients
1/2 cup dried lentils, picked over and rinsed
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 small bunch arugula, coarse stems discarded, the rest washed and spun dry
1/2 head (about 1/4 pound) radicchio
1 medium Belgian endive
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese (about 1/3 cup)

In a saucepan simmer lentils in broth and water, covered 20 minutes, or until tender, and drain. Toss lentils with oil, vinegar, and lemon juice and cool almost to room temperature.

Chop arugula, radicchio, and endive into 1/4-inch pieces and add to lentils. Add feta and salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste, tossing well.
