What’s not to love about a simple side of greens that have been dressed up for the Cinderella Ball with almonds and feta? If you haven’t tried roasted broccoli, you need to jump on this bandwagon STAT. And, if you can’t tell from the picture already, I added another little secret ingredient.
A bit of dulse.
So what is dulse and on earth is it doing in my vegetables?
It’s a nutrient rich sea vegetable that packs a real punch when it comes to vitamins and minerals. Really, it’s a gem. Bursting with iodine, B-vitamins and iron, it is a pantry staple in my home. People often forget about iodine in their diet, and unless you’re eating loads of fish, you might be deficient and as result, your thyroid tends to have tantrums if it doesn’t get sufficient amounts. So why NOT add it to your vegetables, your morning eggs, soups or curries? Really, it’s up to you. I’m not the dulse police now and I’m certainly NOT yo mama.
I’ve used ‘chunkier’ strips of dulse in this recipe, but normally I love (and prefer) the sprinkle kind because the flavor is less in-your-face (I had just run out of it because I basically sprinkle it on everything). Time to restock!! This is the brand I tend to get because it’s certified organic and well, just plain awesome. I also love to sprinkle the little flakes of goodness on my eggs in the morning. Pure bliss.
