Sea Fennel
Sea fennel, aromatic and briny, with asparagus notes.
Sea Fennel, or rock samphire, is a coastal plant with fleshy, aromatic leaves. Its concentrated fragrance combines fresh herbs, iodine notes and an asparagus flavour that comes out when blanched. It calls for precise dosing and suits rich ingredients and shellfish.
