Sea Vegetable
Leaf
Dulse leaves are whole dried (or rarely fresh) fronds of this North Atlantic red seaweed—chewy, salty, and savoury. Toasting crisps and intensifies them. Irish and Maritime traditions snack on dried leaf or cook it with potatoes. Rinse only if gritty. Toast carefully—it burns in seconds. Snip into chowders and bread doughs.
