How do you prepare dulse?

Answer 1

Packaged dulse can be eaten as a snack right out of the bag. You should carefully inspect for the small shells that sometimes cling to the algae. You can quickly rinse dulse to tenderize it and reduce salinity before cutting to bite size. Dunk dulse fronds into a bowl of water and remove quickly. The longer you rinse it, the more minerals are lost. Wet dulse is instantly tenderized. Once rinsed, the fronds are easier to cut to size for salads. For zesty Sandwiches, add a layer of rinsed, tender, uncut dulse. After inspection, you can also hold 6 to 8 dry fronds in one hand, then snip them with scissors to the desired size onto a cutting board or into a bowl. Marinate chopped or snipped dulse in your favorite dressing a few minutes or longer before dressing your favorite salad. To roast dulse, separate the pieces and spread them thinly on a cookie sheet. Preheat your oven to 200° F and leave dulse in for 3-4 minutes or until it gets brown and crisp. Watch it carefully to avoid burning. With a toaster oven, one minute on low (200° F) should be enough. Crumble it on to dips, stir-fries, casseroles, or salads for a delicious, low-sodium, salty taste. Stir-frying with dulse is easy, colorful and nutritious. Simply slice your favorite veggies of the season, sauté them in a small amount of oil with some sliced tofu and sprinkle on some chopped dulse. Dulse flakes and granules are ready to sprinkle on anything: salads, popcorn, pasta, potatoes; or mix into smoothies, tapenades, and sauces.
