Rocket Recipes FAQs
What does rocket go well with?
Rocket is ideal for salads, soups and pasta sauces. You can use it as a pizza topping or serve it with either fish or poultry dishes.
Does rocket taste good cooked?
Rocket wilts when cooked, a bit like leaf spinach. Its textural change is notable, but it still tends to pack a punch with peppery, mustard-like flavour even after cooking.
Can you eat rocket raw?
Yes, not only does rocket taste great when eaten raw, it is usually - although not always - consumed without cooking it.
How to use rocket in cooking?
Rocket is a leaf brassica, so it is mostly used as a garnish or in salads. However, it also makes very good sauces, such as rocket pesto, for example.
How long will rocket last in the fridge?
Once picked, rocket will only last for a few days at most in the fridge. To help preserve it, put it into an airtight, sealable bag.
