I harvested some of my rocket (arugula) leaves to make a salad last night. It was the perfect accompaniment to the freshly grilled salmon. As the rocket leaf is very flavourful, a simple vinaigrette dressing (dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar and olive oil) is good enough.
I can't get enough of its spicy, peppery taste. It's time to grow another batch in my garden.
Hi, How did you grow them? I have been looking for the seeds but cant seem to find them. I usually buy them in a pot from supermarkets and plant them but they dont flower and will die off after awhile.
ReplyDeleteDo you know of anywhere I can get the seeds in KL?
I couldn't find them in Singapore as well. My friends brought some to me from the UK. I doubt you can find htem in Malaysia as this is not a tropical vegetable. You might want to get your friends to bring you some from Europe, america or Australia.
ReplyDeleteI have tried ordering from an Aussie website but they said they can't export to Singapore.
they look nice and very appetizing! kakdah has colourful salad, purple, green, red within the leaves...
ReplyDeleteI would love to try their salad with the dressing you gave. Too bad you cant get the seeds here, would love to have them in my kitchen garden.
ReplyDeleteThey look different from the usual rocket veg from the supermarkets... but do they taste the same?
ReplyDeleteYes, they taste exactly as the ones I've eaten in the restaurants. Strong peppery taste.
ReplyDeleteI harvested them a little young. When I let them grow out, the leaves start to look serrated, just like the rocket you get from the supermarket.
