Mineral rich freshly foraged Blanched Marsh Samphire with citrus lemon and sliced garlic lightly sautéed in creamy butter.
Release all tensions. And, relax into a sea swinging bliss.
This dish will ravish your beliefs that vegan food can’t be super nourishing.
Make this:
- When you have an explosion of Samphire shooting up round your local beach. It’s harvest season and time for a wholesome treat
- When you fancy a dish that’s simple to rustle up. And, with little effort. It’s time to get the fry pan out and get that butter sizzling
- When you’ve spotted some Samphire in stock at your local supermarket. And, sequester it for your just unrich pleasures….
Blanched Marsh Samphire was inspired when harvesting these green beauties at a friend’s local beach. It was cloudy day with the sea just out. Just in the causeway we happenstance upon some Samphire and munched on these as we foraged. Returning home a simple dish on the offering was in motion.
This dish is vegan and paleo.
