Organic Rucola Salad with Stir-Fried Mushrooms and Toasted Pine Nuts

Rucola (Eruca vesicaria), also known as ‘arugula’ and ‘rocket’, has been a star in Mediterranean diets at least since Roman times and its peppery flavour adds punch to any leafy salad. Whether as fresh pizza topping, pasta sauce or omelette filler it is guaranteed to lift any dish.
Like all members of the Brassica (Cabbage) family, rucola leaves contain gucosinolates which during digestion are converted to anti inflammatory,anti-carcinogenic isothiocyanates. Rucola is nutrient dense with minerals such as potassium and calcium, vitamins A, B, C and K and contains large quantities of the beneficial phytonutrients sulforaphane and erucin.
Combined with protective olive oil, savoury shiitake, onion and fermented black bean sauce this makes a delicious fusion dish with amazing health benefits!
