Nigel鈥檚 Top Tips

  • Rinse your samphire well in cold water, before cooking, & if you鈥檝e collected it yourself, make sure you discard the tough whiskery roots, it鈥檚 the delicate stems you need to hang on to.

  • If you want to make your own stock, use prawn, lobster or crab shells & simmer with onion, garlic, & a carrots, for about 15 mins.
