6 spoons of cremora
Garlic
Robertsons mixed herbs

Method

Boil your samp then drain all the water out,on another pot fry your onions with garlic then add your grated carrots,add your spices and your chopped spring onion .
When this has cooked ,add your boiled samp into the pot and stir. Add your liquid milk,stir again and add your cremora and make sure you lower your heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
