Arugula? Need ideas!

[Dace]

My friend gave me a big bag of arugula that she got from her CSA but didn't want. I have no idea what to do with it, aside from adding to salads.

Any ideas? I probably have 16 cups worth!

It's delicious in a quiche! Steam it like you would with spinach first.

I hate arugula. It tastes like poison to me!

I'm only growing it for my SIL, so I'm giving mine all to her!

(Sorry...not very helpful, I know...)

The goats would probably like it...

I can't stand the stuff.

For people who like it though, it is a winter-hardy crop that can be grown most places in the US right through the worst winter months.

Lwheelr....no goaties here

I am not sure that I like arugula either. I guess I can hide it in a quiche.

I will do some searching and post anything promising!

Why you all hatin' on the arugula? It's so much like spinach with a little bitterness added. I hate swiss chard.
