Taste Friends
The extra fine leaves from the RucolaCress make it suitable for decorating items with a blunt taste, but it also works well in a salad and in a mashed potato. In case it is cooked, e.g. in a pasta sauce with some ham, cheese, cream and shallots. We recommend that if you use it in cooked dishes, you add it last. Rucola Cress makes a fantastic pasta sauce.
Origin
Rucola is one of those typical Mediterranean ingredients known from the Italian, Greek, Portuguese and Spanish kitchen. But don’t forget the Middle East, Egypt and the rest of Northern Africa. Today it is considered a global vegetable. The outspoken taste is very decisive for the dish. It can be cooked or eaten raw. In our case with the small size of the leaves, we recommend to use them raw.
