Arugula " Rocket" Recipe

Arugula, also called ‘rocket’, is a slightly spicy, delicate, leafy green. Although quite strong on its own, it’s a perfect addition to salads and sandwiches. It loses some of its spiciness in cooking, but can be prepared, much as spinach, by sautéing with olive oil and garlic.

Greens for breakfast are a great idea. Here’s a recipe for a Rocket And Gruyere Omelette

Serve with salad and crusty bread. Add more veggies if you like, such as chopped peppers and onions. Serves 4.

• 1 garlic clove, halved

• 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 5 oz rocket

• 6 eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 1/4 lb Gruyere, cut into small cubes

Preheat your grill. Cook the garlic and oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic and add the rocket. Cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes to wilt. Whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper, then pour over the rocket and cook, undisturbed, over medium heat until almost set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese on the top and place under the grill until eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.

Enjoy!
