Earthy Cumin and peppery rocket come together to make a delicious salad.

Serves 4 as a side.

Cumin Seeds

Toasting cumin seeds will bring out their flavour and give them a beautiful aroma which will help infuse the oil. To toast the seeds, place them in a small pan over medium heat and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. The seeds are ready when they begin to brown and give off their pleasantly warm aroma. However, care should be taken when toasting cumin as it will turn bitter if overcooked.
