Samphire, for those of you who haven't tried it, is best described as a kind of 'sea asparagus'. Salty and crunchy. Interesting. Not so strong that you lose the flavour of everything else. I made this salad for a party recently. I had a bit of a hangover and it only took five minutes. You'll impress everyone with your culinary skills without losing too much sofa time.
You'll need:
- 300g crayfish tails
- two large handfuls of samphire
- handful of king prawns
- salad leaves
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red chilli
- juice of one lemon
- large drizzle of olive oil
Make it!
- Rince the samphire under cold water - it's too salty otherwise.
- Mix with the salad leaves and red onion
- Throw in the crayfish and king prawns
- To make the dressing, just chop up the chilli and add to the lemon juice and olive oil.
- Toss the salad, pop back in the fridge for an hour or so whilst you have a nap.
ooooh I LOVE samphire, this looks absolutely bloody delicious :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Samphire before but this simple dish looks like a perfect way in. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteOur local fishmongers sells it - maybe other readers could try theirs ?
