The sea bean aka sea asparagus or marsh samphire grows along seashores and in salt marshes..., and if I ever find it in a store around here I'll imitate Connecticut freelance chef Linda @ Play with Fire and Water and serve it up (cooked) coated in a mixture of toasted rice flour, butter, brown sugar (or poncillo), lime and cardamom..., and maybe crown it with a pearl too.

WOW!!! a new veggie, I never heard of them before. THANKS!!! for sharing. Geri
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of the sea bean before either until a few days ago actually, so I don't know how it tastes..., I'd love to try so.
ReplyDeleteI am not 100% sure that if it is the same thing, but I think we have it over here,too. I love them, I buy every week at the farmers market. My favorite receipe is its salad. Just with lemon, olive oil and crushed garlic. It's a very typical mezze of Aegean cuisine.
ReplyDelete...well, i finally updated to your new blog...i am so bad!!! the sea bean sounds so neat. i would certainly give it a try...besides, i love sea kelp soup. xo, mickey
ReplyDeleteA real fancy entree it sounds.
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting! Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from you.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this, but you know me, I had to google it and I read that it is the favorite vegetable of mermaids! I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for this intriguing veggie.
look like sea snow peas..
ReplyDeleteand i would definately try them if i ever
see them offered on a menu :)
I want to be on board here but I am a teeny bit scared. I love anything that comes from the sea but I might need a little coaxing to give this a try for some reason I think it might be slimy. And mind you I am not a picky eater. Always somthing new here, love it.

That's a new one on me. Haven't heard of the sea bean. But have you heard of this chick named Maya? She has a blog called Olive Rue. Lol. Apparently, after you commented on the Tybee post someone else called me Maya and then another blogger called me Maya. It started a chain reaction. I thought it was funny. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI have had these samphires as a kid in New Brunswick Canada. They were all over the the tidal flats from the Bay Of Fundy..they have a slightly bitter taste, but steamed with butter, salt and a bit of lemon they were quite tasty. I used some stock photos today Maya. I have been sleeping hours and hours after yesterday's chemo and they somehow just made me feel peaceful.
