Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 > Cor Ruthie aren't you trendy. Duno about trendy, the fish shop where I bought the St 's fish had a basket of samphire and I did remember reading/hearing about it so I thought I'd buy half a pound and try it. Sweat it off in butter or boil it? Oh well I'll try cooking it quickly in water later and see what happens. Thanks for your help! Ruthie > > Its the veg of the 'moment' and IIRC you sweat it off in butter. Germaine Greer wrote a piece on it two weeks ago and she recommends that you cook it in boiling water and then (quote)'dress your steaming samphire with freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you don't, the chances are it will taste of salt and nothing else'. Mind you she also indicates that an awful lot of what is being sold is not true samphire. Oh this is. It tastes salty and looks like seaweed! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
