Samphire with a Miso Dressing Recipe

Samphire with a Miso Dressing

Samphire, an eatable plant that grows on sea cliffs and salt marshes is similar to very fine asparagus, and has a common name of sea asparagus. Its name comes from the corruption of Saint Pierre.

Samphire is salty and crips to eat. It can be eaten raw in a salad, but I prefer it briefly steamed for 1-2 minutes.
