RECIPE TIPS
TOMATO & ROCKET SIDE SALAD
Halve 250g cherry tomatoes, then mix with 1 tsp wholegrain mustard, 2 tsp clear honey, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and some seasoning. Mix with plenty of rocket and serve. Serves 4.
ROCKET & CORIANDER PESTO
Put 50g rocket, handful coriander leaves, 2 tbsp pine nuts, 1 tbsp grated Parmesan, ½ garlic clove, 2 tbsp olive oil and a squeeze lemon juice in a food processor and whizz to a paste. Stir through pasta. Serves 2.
ROCKET & BRIE TOASTIE
Toast 1 thick slice of bread on both sides, then spread with 1 tbsp caramelised onions from a jar. Top with 2 thin slices pear and 2 slices brie. Grill until the cheese is bubbling, then scatter with a small handful rocket and tuck in. Serves 1.
TIP
To butterfly prawns, make a shallow cut all the way along the back of the prawn. You will see a blackish line - pull it out with the tip of your knife. As the prawn cooks, it will curl into a 'butterfly' shape.

Awesome starter!

This recipe sounds delicious, would the quantities stated be enough for 4 people if doing as a starter?
Thanks

Slightly dissapointed with this, they tasted good but just wasn't enough of a kick to them, too bland and very time consuming cleaning the prawns...
