Rocket has a distinctive spicy-bitter taste. It is an excellent ingredient of many salads which need a strong flavour. As well as the strong taste, rocket is a rich source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamins A and K and ascorbic acid. Rocket pesto is great with pasta, but I like it as an ingredient of egg sandwiches. I also often add cherry tomatoes, which are sweet and they go well with this pesto.

Ingredients:
pesto
120g of rocket
100ml of olive oil
3 tablespoons of sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons of parmesan
1 clove of garlic
additionally
2 hard-boiled eggs
3 slices of rye bread
a few cherry tomatoes
2-3 tablespoons of roast almond flakes

Prepare the pesto. Roast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan. Blend all the ingredients of the pesto. Add salt and pepper if necessary. Roast the slices of bread. Spread them with the pesto, arrange the egg slices and the halves of cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with the roasted almond flakes and pepper.

Enjoy your meal!
