I do not have any knowledge on vermouths and I would like to make this recipe for dinner tonight. I did find sweet vermouth in our liquor cabinet and I do not have white wine. Do you think sweet vermouth would work for this recipe? I do not want to ruin my arugula by adding the wrong alcohol. Thank you.

Great recipe. I was given a bunch of fresh Arugula and did not know what to do with it. So I tried this recipe and me and my kids loved it. We have substituted fresh spinach at times. Both versions taste great.

I loved it. Ditched the onions, and used apple cider vinegar instead of wine. I’m not a chef, just a big hungry man. My wife and kids hated it...more for me!

I had arugula bolting in the garden and mushrooms in the fridge, so thought I'd try this recipe. It was all right, but i won't be trying it again.

I was given a bag of the most beautiful arugula fresh from a local greenhouse. I've had arugula before and it was not one of my favorite greens, but these were wonderful, partly because they were so fresh. After reading about what you can do with arugula besides in salads, I thought it would be fun to try this. It was amazing! I was concerned the arugula would be more like spinach when cooked, but it held up well to being wilted and tasted much better than spinach. I had fresh thyme I used instead of dried herbs, and had sauvignon blanc on hand so in it went. I did not use cheese as after tasting it didn't think it needed it. Agree it would make a beautiful flavorful topping for chicken.
