Mystery salad veg in weekly box....

I have eaten this before but I can't remember the name - mustard leaves perhaps? They have a peppery, spicy taste a bit like rocket but stronger. Looks like flat leaf parsley or coriander but obviously it's neither of those. Delicious just with some olive oil and tomatoes. Picture here (the green leaves obviously, not the steak!) : -)

Would love to know what it is as I want to try and grow some....


Thanks!

    No, the leaves are smaller and not quite as dark green as watercress. I googled mustard cress but there seems to be some confusion between cress (like you get in egg and cress sandwiches) and mustard...

    Is it endive? Looks similar to what I've just opened in a bag of mixed leaves.

    Hi

    Looks and sounds like rocket, dead cheap and easy to grow. Nice dinner!

    It's flat leaf parsley I think. I'm pretty sure.

    Definitely not endive. It's not rocket either.
