Ingredients

  • 4 large sea urchins
  • 2 ounces butter
  • 2 tablespoons

Method

Using scissors, cut a hole around the inside perimeter of the underside of the sea urchin. Discard the cut shell and clean out the inside of the remaining shell, leaving only the orange-colored roe that sticks vertically to the shell. When the shell is perfectly clean, scoop the roe into a bowl. When all the roe is out, clean the shells thoroughly and dry the inside surfaces. Puree the roe.
