Sautéed Dulse

Accompanying update: Seaweed

If you’re new to seaweed, here's is a tasty and savory way to start a healthy habit. Sautéed dulse is a gorgeous dark magenta color and has a texture similar to home fries—some crisp and a lot of smooth. I've served crisped dulse to people of all ages and it is one that everyone enjoys. Serve with a meal or with a selection of other finger foods as a snack or appetizer.

Serves 2

1/2 cup dulse, loosely packed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or butter
1 clove garlic, minced
Lemon slices

Rinse the dulse in a small water filled-bowl for 2-3 seconds or just until it softens in your hand (If soaked, it becomes soggy.)  Drain, pat dry with a paper towel and, if necessary, cut into bite-size pieces.

In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat; add the garlic and sauté for about a minute. Add the dulse and sauté for about a minute or until the color beomes a shade lighter and some of the pieces crisp up. Serve hot or at room temperature with a slice of lemon.

May you be well nourished,
