Goat Curd Crème Caramel
Sails Restaurant share their scrumptious recipe for Barakel Cockles and Boston Bay Mussels served with tarragon and lemon cream, sea herbs and garlic hot toast.
This recipe uses cockles from Barakel in Robe, who specialise in wild-harvested organic cockles. If you can’t find them, you can substitute other cockles.
Bower spinach is a leafy green, harvested from a wild vine found growing on the sand dunes around Robe and in many local backyards. If not available, substitute baby spinach.
