Rocket is a very 'English' leaf, and has been used in salads since Elizabethan times. It has a strong, peppery flavour, and the leaves have a slight 'bite' to them. If you see 'rucola' or 'arugula' for sale or on a restaurant menu - it's the same thing.
How do I get Rocket ready to use?
Just rinse and go.
What about keeping Rocket?
Store in the bottom part of your fridge, in brown paper or a perforated bag. It will last for a maximum of 2 days.
How do I cook Rocket?
Mix with other salad leaves; throw a handful on top of pasta or a pizza.
