Rocket · common
Wild Rocket
Narrow, serrated leaves with a proper peppery warmth — deeper and more savoury than the milder salad sort. It's perennial in mild spots, so a single sowing can give for years; slow to start, but well worth the patience.

Rocket and parmesan salad
A pile of peppery leaves, shavings of parmesan, a squeeze of lemon, and your best olive oil. Nothing else. When the rocket is this good, simplicity is the point.
