Both sea purslane and sea rocket have a distinct saltiness and a wasabi/horseradish like pungency. They are also bitter greens, though this can be ameliorated by briefly blanching in salted water. Together they make an excellent wasabi-like paste that goes very well with fish and sushi.

Ingredients:

handful of young sea purslane leves
half as much young sea rocket leaves
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp dark soy sauce

Method:

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil, add the sea purslane and sea rocket leaves and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold, running, water.

Transfer to a blender, add the garlic, olive oil and soy sauce then render to a puree.

Serve as a pungent accompaniment.
