As a backyard vegetable (herb?), rocket has much to recommend it. It grows strongly throughout the southern winter when the rest of the vegie patch is pretty bare. Its peppery leaves are delicious in salads; it can be steamed as a vegetable or mixed into a risotto; and it makes a fabulous pesto with walnuts or pecans.
Today I made one of my favourite salads using some of the rocket in the garden. Simply scatter rocket onto a flat dish, shave some parmesan over the top (I use a vegetable peeler to do this), then drizzle over a simple vinaigrette. Yum!
