Arugula, also known as rocket or Eruca vesicaria, is a leafy green vegetable that adds a peppery kick to any dish. With its distinctive flavor and nutritional benefits, it has become a popular choice in salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. Eruca sativa, another name for arugula, is often referred to as "rocket" due to its rapid growth. This fast-growing plant can reach up to two feet tall and produces clusters of small white flowers. Its leaves are elongated with serrated edges, giving it an attractive appearance. In the 18th century botanical book "A Curious Herbal, " plate 242 showcases the vibrant colors of rocket through a beautiful color engraving. This depiction highlights the intricate details of this versatile plant. Brassica eruca is another variety commonly found in wild rocket. It shares similar characteristics with Eruca sativa but belongs to the Brassica family. Both varieties offer a tangy taste that complements various dishes. One delightful way to enjoy arugula is by combining it with shrimp, white beans, onions, and balsamic vinegar in a refreshing salad. The combination of flavors creates a harmonious balance that satisfies both your taste buds and nutritional needs. For those craving something heartier, try indulging in a salami sandwich layered with cheese and garnished generously with fresh arugula leaves. The peppery notes from the greens elevate the overall taste profile while adding some crunchiness. If you're looking for an Italian classic bursting with flavor, look no further than Pizza Margherita topped with three kinds of cheese: mozzarella di bufala campana DOP (buffalo mozzarella), Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP (Parmesan), and Pecorino Romano DOP (sheep's milk cheese). Adding some fresh rocket leaves on top completes this mouthwatering masterpiece.
