Ingredients

10
Samphires (serving)
3 Cup
Water
2 Clove
Garlic (minced)
0.25 Cup
Olive Oil
0.5
Lemon Juices (juice of lemon)
1
Lemon (wedge or slice (1/8 or one 2-1/8" dia lemon))

Method

  1. Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Once your pot is boiling, add the samphire and let it boil for
    10 -15 minutes.
  2. When the flesh turns bright green and seems tender, strain out the cooked samphire and plunge it
    into cold water to prevent it from overcooking. Drain off all the water.
  3. Once the cooked samphire is cool enough to handle, it is possible to pull the flesh off each hard
    stalk easily. It should come off in long, hollow tubes. Discard the stalks as you go along.
  4. Place the cooked samphire in a large bowl. Gently toss the samphire together with the olive oil,
    garlic, and lemon juice. Serve immediately garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing.
