Samphire, Lamb Fillet and Dauphinoise ....

[echokilo]

............... does it go? And how would you cook the Samphire?

[boxtops]

It sounds lovely, and I'd steam it.

[EcclesCake]

Yes it goes and yes to steaming the samphire.

What sauce are you going to have though? I feel you might need something on the right side of sweet to counter the salty samphire and the rich spuds,

[echokilo]

Lovely - thanks Boxtops. Would you also serve carrots with it? I somehow feel lamb without carrots is wrong, but they seem a bit ordinary and boring with the other components .... what do you think?

<drools over steamed samphire, with unsalted butter>

Try steaming some carrot batons; to serve, toast some flaked cinnamon stick gently in a frying pan, add a knob of butter to melt and turn the carrots through it on a low heat for a couple of minutes.

For those of you who replied - it was delicious .... and we had a started of mushrooms in cream, garlic and brandy and a trio of lemon desserts (lemon posset, lemon ice cream and tarte au citron x
