How to Cook Sea Plantain

Sea Plantain - Plantago Maritima 

I wanted to share with you guys my favourite way of eating this exquisite salt marsh vegetable.

It couldn't be simpler, but I believe that great flavours should be served with simple ingredients.

Ingredients: 

Lemon Juice 

Butter

Black Pepper 

Handful Sea Plantain per serving, blanched in boiling salted water for about 1-2 minutes, drained and refreshed in cold water

1. Melt a generous knob of butter in a pan (don't burn!) 
2. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, black pepper and your sea plantain.
3. Heat plantain gently in the mix, stirring continuously and ensuring it is coated evenly.
4. Remove from heat after about 1 minute and serve immediately.

Enjoy plain with bread or with fish or chicken.
