Easy
The smoky, salty, savoury flavour of iron-rich red seaweed Dulse has been compared to bacon. That's why it works so well in a simple, fresh pea soup. So swap the pork for seaweed in this soup, and try this healthy recipe for a lovely veggie version of a classic.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tsp Dulse, plus 1 tsp to garnish
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 1 tsp fresh tarragon, chopped
- 900ml vegetable stock
