Chef John's Rocket Beans

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Chef John's Rocket Beans). Rocket is another name for arugula. I love to use it as an herb, but don't buy it in the herb section of the supermarket; buy it in the lettuce section. This is an incredibly fast, incredibly simple, but satisfying rustic bean side dish.
