  • About

Rocket was a popular salad ingredient in Britain in the sixteenth century, then it disappeared from public awareness in this country until just a few years ago, when it was rediscovered with its more exotic Italian names – also used in the USA – rucola and arugula.

Ingredients

  • 60 g/ 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 450 g/ 1

Method

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over a moderate heat and sweat the potatoes, leek and onion for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and taking care not to brown the vegetables.

Barely cover with about 1.1 litres/ 2
