Prep 15 min Serves Serves 3-4

Dulse is a deep red seaweed gathered along cold northern shores and carries a naturally savoury, almost smoky flavour that lends itself well to slow, sun-driven ingredients. Here, it’s blended with sundried tomatoes and sweet red pepper into a dip that feels quietly indulgent. Serve it with crackers or raw vegetables as an appetiser, fold it through warm pasta with a little cooking water, or spread it beneath avocado on toast. A small, versatile paste that brings a hint of the coastline into everyday cooking.

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried dulse in cold water for 10–15 minutes until softened. 
  2. Remove any thick roots if present, and cut the dulse into smaller pieces. 
  3. Add the dulse along with all remaining ingredients to a food processor. 
  4. Blend until smooth. 
  5. If needed, add a little more olive oil to adjust the consistency. 
  6. Serve as a spread on crackers, or use in pasta, or as a base for avocado toast.
