Savoury rocket leaves cake

Ingredients

  • 175 gr self-raising flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (crème fraiche mixed with a bit of lemon juice works too)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper
  • 100 gr rocket leaves, washed, dried and chopped
  • 50 gr pine nuts (toasted walnuts or cashews work as well)

METHOD

Easy to throw together and just something a bit different than a slice of bread. It’s very nice to eat this warm, with some butter or hummus. Even peanut butter worked for me!
