You don’t have to feel guilty about the adding bacon flavors to your meals with dulse and in my house, I don’t even tell anyone that they are eating seaweed. They will never notice that extra bit of nutrition, but they will notice the extra flavor.
Let's Get Started:
The Ingredient And Where To Get It:
Like all edible seaweed, dulse provides a wealth of fiber and protein, and it’s also rich in vitamins, trace minerals, healthy fatty acids, and antioxidants. It resembles a leafy, red lettuce, and grows wild on the northern Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where it’s typically harvested during low tide from early summer to early fall.
You can find dried dulse products from brands like Maine Coast Sea Vegetables at well-stocked grocery stores such as Whole Foods. Look for whole-leaf and flaked dulse, dulse powder, and seasoning mixes.
How To Use It:
To achieve that bacon-like effect, pan-fry some dried whole-leaf dulse with oil over medium-high heat until crisp, then slap it between two slices of bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise for a DLT. Eat raw or cooked dulse as a snack, or add it to sandwiches and salads. Try dulse flakes sprinkled over scrambled eggs or popcorn, or mixed into vinaigrettes. If you’re feeling truly seaweed-shy, start with a product that has a manageable quantity of dulse in it, like Ozuké’s pickled beets with dulse and kale (grab a jar of their umeboshi plums while you’re at it). And on the opposite end of the spectrum, if you’re feeling extra-bold, add a small scoop of dulse powder to smoothies for a creamy seaweed shake.
Finished!
