How do you cook a sea urchin?

We strolled along the rue Cler, in St. Germain des Pres, to hunt and gather tonight's dinner. Roses, Halloween chocolates, oysters, currants, sea urchins and clementines from Spain with the leaves still on them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end, we took home lemony chicken thighs, celery puree, fried mushrooms (girelles) and spinach. For dessert, a tarte fine aux poires. So delicious.

If you want to cook a sea urchin, try grilling it. But I'd rather just admire their purply prickles.
