Rocket leaves are added to all of this week's tasty recipes

Mid April is when the first of the rocket leaves are pushing their way through the soil on my window sill, the fiery, peppery leaf has many uses and it one of the easiest things to grow in Ireland. 

Rocket will continue to produce leaves throughout the summer months and if you have a glut you can always make a flavoured oil or pesto.

I cut the individual leaves as required and add them to salads, top a pizza or fill out a sandwich.
