Vegan Scallops with Coastal Wild Herbs with peppery alexanders, earthy marsh samphire, lemony rock samphire and crisp succulent sea purslane.

Swig some tasty morsel down your throat. And, swallow.

This dish will overcome your beliefs that vegan food can’t be wholesome and sustaining.

Make this:

  • When you’re feeling waspish about the coast and your gut’s calling for a return. Bring a little coast to the kitchen
  • When you’re creating an extravaganza dinner party and want something slightly shonky yet swanky too – understated elegance
  • When you’re having a Vegan Seafood home night and it’s time to bring out your best China

Vegan Scallops is an alt shellfish and this dish with Coastal Wild Herbs was inspired when visiting Cornwall and foraging alexanders, marsh and rock samphire and sea purslane.

Foraging Coastal Wild Herbs are a super addition to the kitchen pantry and used as needed to spruce up dishes. marsh samphire is best used picked fresh, or freeze when bought to retain its glow.  Likewise, freeze sea purslane. Pick alexanders towards the end of summer. Dehydrate rock sapphire. Keep both alexanders and rock sapphire in sealed jar.

This dish is vegan seafood and paleo.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
