British samphire courtesy of our mobile fishmonger - out of season, it apparently comes from Israel and tends to be smaller. We probably wouldn't have been tempted had we not had it the day before when Mr M took me out for lunch. Boil in lightly salted water for a couple of minutes before being tossed in olive oil and a knob of butter with a crack of pepper. Heaven.

I love samphire too!!
ReplyDeleteWe first had samphire on holiday in Suffolk and Norfolk. And now, even when it comes from our local Waitrose, I still feel like we're dining at the seaside.
ReplyDeleteVery intrigued by the mobile fishmonger...!
