Chef John’s Rocket Beans

Description

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.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 (15 ounce) jar butter beans, drained and rinsed
