Blanched Marsh Samphire

Photo captures Blanched Marsh Samphire being served by Edward Daniel.

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.
