Salicornia (Sea Bean): What Is It?

Some call it asparagus of the sea, while others refer to it as sea bean or samphire.

The truth is salicornia goes by many names but this sea vegetable can be cooked just like any other - boiled, steamed, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, or even as a filling for seafood thanks to its natural salty flavour.

We used it to give an even more summery touch to our seafood sauce!
