I really wanted to love this recipe as it sounds fantastic but unfortunately the pesto and rocket overwhelmed the other flavours. I followed the recipe exactly and it could be down to the actual pesto that I used as I didn't use fresh. Anyway its a great idea and I will definately try it again but probably omit the pesto.
