Funny how tempura fried fish still qualifies as a ‘healthy dinner’ for us, but it does, somehow. Tender, local fluke fillets dipped in flour, beaten egg, and tempura gets shallow fried in some olive oil and butter before liberally drizzled with lemon juice, and then eaten rapidly while still crispy and hot. We held back on the salt because Adam picked up a small parcel of samphire, which was somehow briny enough to flavor my entire plate of food. Served alongside broad beans, red peppers, and wild red rice, it certainly felt like a healthy, no-wine kind of night. Sometimes you need a break from all the pancetta pasta and crispy duck!
looks healthy enough to me!
I’ve never been quite sure how to eat glasswort/ samphire/ sea asparagus and yet they grow all over the place in my town. I always thought they might take the place of capers. True or totally not true?
oooh, the capers/samphire corollary seems to be a good one. though i feel like i could eat a lot more samphire than i could capers, which maybe just flavors everything else….
