Arugula, Squid and White Bean

When we eat at Edo’s Squid – one of our favorite Richmond restaurants – Squid with Arugula and White Beans is the go to appetizer. Although we don’t know Edo’s secret, this recipe mixes the same elements, playing acidity of lemon juice and balsamic off of spicy arugula and red onion; rounding it all out with earthy beans and the mild ocean flavor of squid.

Rabbit and Potatoes in Mustard Sauce

Mustard sauce balances tangy and buttery flavors to cohere simple ingredients in an elegant dish. The hearty combination of protein and potatoes makes this rabbit recipe best for brisk spring evenings. For the less adventurous, preparing the mustard sauce with chicken is an excellent substitute, but naturally we recommend trying local rabbit for the full effect.
