Rock Samphire Pickles Recipe
Rock samhphire is one of the valuable herbs that few people know. It grows among the stones by the sea, in sandy places. The taste of raw rock samphire is sour-bitter. It is made into salad, food (usually roasted like every little known herb) and pickles. Our topic today is pickles. Pickled cucumber is a good appetizer for fish, especially for the fish.
When you go on holiday in the summer, you can collect the rock samphire from the rocks yourself, or you can find it in local markets.
Of course, when talking about a different herb, it is not possible to write about what is good for it. It is said to be especially good for goiter disease. It makes the intestines work, even more of it has a laxative effect.
Lemon or Vinegar in Pickles?
I used lemon juice when making the pickle, but if you like it, you can use vinegar. If it is up to me, pickles are best with lemon .
If you want to use vinegar, you can use half a glass or if you like it very much, you can use a glass of water.
When doing a recipe, remember that the first thing that comes before anything else is your taste. Make sure to adjust the sugar, salt, sour, bitterness, and spice according to your taste.
