6+ ways to use rocket

Add a handful of fresh arugula to an omelette, scrambled eggs, pasta or rice just before serving for a peppery bite.

Sauté arugula in a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil and season with freshly-ground black pepper and freshly-grated Parmesan cheese. Eat as a side dish or top your baked potato.

Older leaves can be added to soups, stews and curries. Add to your wrap, sandwich, or flatbread.

Rocket goes well with a robust vinaigrette using fruity olive oil, red wine, sherry or balsamic vinegar.

Good companions include walnuts, oranges, fresh or roasted peppers, red onion, garlic, parmesan, feta, strong-flavoured cheese, mustard, olives, tomatoes and mushrooms.
