This is Sea Beet. It grows all along the foreshore here and is a great alternative to spinach. There is one thing you have to bear in mind though. Don&#8217;t pick from the edges because that&#8217;s where all the dogs on walks wee! so move further in and pick from the centre. After all who wants to eat foraged vegetables doused in dog wee.<\/p>\n<p>An ancient plant, sea beet is the wild ancestor of common vegetables like beetroots and Swiss chard. With its spinach-like flavor, it&#8217;s a great green to grow if you like the taste of chard but find yourself tossing out the stems.<\/p>\n<p>While I know not everyone can just walk down the beach and pick a batch of sea beets, but if you can, you definitely should\u2026or if you have a garden, you could try planting them. The crispy shallots are something everyone should know how to pair with greens because they\u2019re so simple and so satisfying.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-374\" src=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet-320x321.jpg 320w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Seabeet.jpg 1442w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sauteed-Sea-Beet-1024x768.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Saut\u00e9ed Sea Beets<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Foraged<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">British<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Tony Tomlinson<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT3M\">3 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT8M\">8 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 lb.
