Rocket on your pizza

6/1/2018

 
Picture
We have a lot of rocket in the garden - perhaps a little too much! Perennial or wild rocket, diplotaxis tenuifolia, is a fabulously successful plant in Canberra that provides pungent leafy greens for most of the year. The trick is finding enough ways to eat the stuff.

Some of the rocket in our garden - it makes a tough, fairly drought tolerant, ground cover.
So, apart from adding a few leaves to salads, what can you do with rocket? We love eating it whenever we make pizza. I don’t mean just fancy pumpkin and goats cheese numbers that always have rocket on top, I mean pretty much any pizza. It goes especially well with ham and pineapple as it happens! The trick is to dress the rocket leaves with a good squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. No need for oil, just about half a lemon's worth of juice to a loose cup of rocket and a few grinds of sea salt. Yum!

I've never heard of the plant called "rocket" before. This is the first time that I've ever heard of this certain leaf. I want to show this to my aunt, because she's an avid gardener. I'm sure that she'll love to include this in her collection. Aside from being a gardener, she's a vegan as well. I'm really excited of tasting this, on top of a pizza.
