Ingredients
- 500 grams samphire 1 bunch
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon vinegar grape or apple
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate sauce
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Cut off and discard the bottom part of the samphires and rinse.
- Bring to boil about a litre of water in a pot. Add 3 garlic cloves, you do not need to peel the garlic at this stage.
- Add also the samphires to the water and boil over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes. Take out one and check if it is easily peelable. If so, remove all from the water and start peeling.
- To peel hold a samphire from the bottom and gently push out the dark green side. If you switch it slightly back and forth and to sides it will come out easly. You do not need to cut them but if they tear while peeling you can still use these pieces.
- Take out the garlics out of the water and peel them now. Chop to tiny pieces.
- In a small bowl mix the chopped garlic, olive oil, vinegar and pomogranate sauce. Add also red pepper flakes if you choose to add. Sampire is already a salty vegetable, do not add salt.
- Pour the sauce on the samphire and mix well and serve as a side dish.
