Arugula is also called rocket.

mmmm, bacon and arugula..

Tuna salad on rye toast with lemon-pepper mixture sprinkled on the tuna.

It's delicious! This peppery leaf is also known as arugula, particularly in the US. It’s a dark green salad vegetable, popular in Mediterranean countries. The leaves have a slightly bitter, peppery flavour and are gathered when they’re young. Rocket is a rich source of iron as well as vitamins A and C.

I love arugula vonny.

segue here....

After draining pasta, sometimes I'll add chopped arugula and olive oil, along with some cheese, tomato or whatever strikes my fancy.

You cover and leave for a few minutes, and the greens wilt and cheese melts. Very good.

rocket has to be picked in the spring, otherwise it takes on a nasty flavor with heat that is just inedible.

I threw it out

A foot.

Will report later. I'm making something a little strange: non-pupusas. Has to do with having the wrong masa and adding the wrong things to be authentic. On the other hand, I have real home made chicharones for the fat. This could be a throw-out too.

Ok, the non-pupusas worked out. The masa in our market is not just the stuff in bags in the bakery section (ground corn cooked (I think) and treated with lime, but also packaged masa in the meat section (kept cold) that is already mixed with some water, which is what I had. So.. I added some water, and it was already too much. So it goes.

I played with pancakes, adding some baking powder and things I like, black beans and spicy diced cooked eggplant and already caramelized onions, chopped up, and some red pepper powder. Used the chicharone grease (a tad) with a little canola. I got impatient - didn't want to burn them, didn't want to stand over the stove for the rest of the afternoon.

So I made masa muffins - also good. Next time, a little more baking powder or soda.

Now I won't want to eat dinner.

I gather the usual papusa is made with way drier dough with some black beans mixed in and some cheese filling in the middle. Next time.
