Crunchy Chickpea and Seaweed topper
- Nuts
- Chickpeas
- Olive oil
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Sunflower seeds
- Chia seeds
- Seagreens Mineral Salt
Chickpeas are delicious roasted - the secret to crunchy chickpeas is to ensure they are completely dry before putting them in the oven.I used half a tin of organic chickpeas (the rest went into a winter lamb stew). Spread onto a tray with a paper towel to dry.
Once the chickpeas are completely dry, pop them into a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a good sprinkle of Seagreens Mineral Salt. Mix till they're entirely coated then spread them onto the tray, this time on greaseproof paper.
Bake for 30 minutes in a hot oven (200 degrees), giving the tray a little shake halfway through.While they're cooking, prepare the rest of your nuts and seeds. Raid the pantry and use whatever you have - I used almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and chia. Add them to your bowl with a dash more olive oil and another sprinkle of Seagreens Mineral Salt.
At the 30-minute mark take your chickpeas out of the oven, spread your nuts and seeds onto the tray with them and pop them all back in for another 5 to 7 minutes.

Beetroot, Carrot and Dulse Puffs
- Two puff pastry sheets cut in half lengthwise
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 cup grated beetroot
- ½ cup grated smoked cheese or vegan cheese alternative
- 1 teaspoon Wild & Briny Dulse Flakes or to taste
- One egg or 1/3 cup milk or alternative
Mix the carrot, beetroot, cheese and Seaweed until they are well combined.Brush one long edge of the pastry with beaten egg or milk and place the carrot mix along the centre, squashing it down into a long sausage shape.
Pull the long edges of the pastry up around the filling with the egg-washed side on top and push them together gently to seal.Gently turn the roll over, so the sealed edge is on the bottom. Cut into sections with a sharp knife and place them carefully on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the rolls with egg or milk and bake in a moderate oven for approx 30 minutes until golden.
To top the rolls with poppy or sesame seeds, take them out of the oven after 25 mins, brush again with egg or milk, sprinkle with seeds and return to the oven for the remaining five minutes. -
Zucchini and Carrot Slice with Dulse
1 large organic zucchini
1 large organic carrot
1 tablespoon Wild & Briny Dulse pieces, chopped roughly
½ cup organic brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
4 organic eggs
Grate the zucchini and carrot into a large bowl - I use the coarse side of the grater.
Add the dulse - more or less to your taste. If the pieces are larger I chop them up into ½ to 1cm pieces.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix well so that the vegetables are completely coated.
Whisk the eggs and oil together in a large jug then add to the bowl.
Mix well and pop into a square baking pan about 20 to 25cm square... size depends on what you have and how thick you like it!
Bake in a 180 degree oven until set and slightly golden on top - about 30 mins.
This slice is delicious hot or cold, with salad or as a side to a juicy steak.

Cheese and Crackers with Seaweed "Caviar"
- 2 teaspoons Wild & Briny Asco
- Crackers of your choice
- Cheese of your choice, the tastier the better!
Pop the two teaspoons of Asco into a small bowl with four teaspoons water.
Let it stand for one hour.
The seaweed will soak up the water and become tiny, delicious balls of salty umami-flavoured jelly. This is because of the natural alginate in the seaweed.
The "caviar" can be used to garnish all types of dishes.
It looks beautiful on cracker combinations and will be a great conversation topic at your next dinner party or barbecue.
The mixture can also be added to rissoles and meatloaf. It adds beautiful flavour and makes the meat deliciously moist. -
Easy wheat, dairy, yeast and egg free Bread
- ½ cup psyllium husks
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 ½ cups brown rice flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarb of soda
- ½ to 2 tsp Wild & Briny Asco, according to taste
In a bowl mix psyllium husks, vinegar and water (make sure it's mixed thoroughly).In another bowl mix the dry ingredients together. For fruit bread I add 1 ½ tsp cinnamon or mixed spice and 1 ½ tbsp coconut sugar or panela.
By now the psyllium will have set into a kind of jelly, it takes 5 to 10 minutes. Tip this into the dry ingredients, add fruit and nuts if you want and start mixing with a spoon, then mix it with your hands until it comes together as a dough. Don't overmix it here, as soon as it has all come together form it into a loaf shape in the bowl.
Pop it into a greased and lined loaf tin.
Bake in a slow oven 160 degrees for 1 ½ to 2 hours. When it's ready it will be crusty on the outside and sound hollow when tapped.
Enjoy!
