About rocket leaf
Rocket leaf is a delicious lettuce-like plant that can be harvested year round leaf by leaf. The name comes from it’s hot peppery flavour. Leaves have aroma of peanuts and the flavouor of penuts combined with the heat of water cress. Young leaves have best flavour – not so hot.
It is rich in vitamin C and potassium. It is generally used in salads but also cooked as a vegetable with pastas or meats and in coastal Slovenia, it is added to the cheese burek. In Italy, it is often used in pizzas, added just before the baking period ends or immediately afterwards, so that it can wilt in the heat. It is sometimes used as an ingredient in pesto, either in addition to basil or as a substitute.
