Dulse and tomato go together perfectly. The saltiness of the seaweed combined with the sweetness of the tomato complement each other to create an umami flavour bomb. This recipe using Mara Seaweed can be adapted to suit different palates – you could put in fewer olives, add Parmesan and mushrooms, or more Dulse to change the balance of flavours.
If you are worried about catering for vegetarians this Christmas, this dish should more than satisfy as a starter.
