Cava Sous-chef, Szymon Misniak has just introduced a new vegetable into the kitchen in Cava. But can you call is a vegetable? And is it new? Samphire is an edible plant which grows on costal areas. Originally "sampiere", a corruption of the French "Saint Pierre", Samphire was named for the patron saint of fishermen because all the original plants with its name grow in rocky salt-sprayed regions along the sea coast of northern Europe or in its coastal marsh areas. It is sometimes called sea asparagus. Samphire is even mentioned in Shakespeare's King Lear!
Half-way down Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade!
Samphire goes particulalry well with fish, but it can also be eaten by itself: blanch it in boiling wated and then put some butter on it! You can also but some Spanish goats cheese with it.
Bloody good!
Samphire is in season during July and August.
