Sea Kale Ohitashi

Sea kale...
I didn't know they were edible till just before our last visit to Shingle street in May. Sea kale on the Suffolk coast looks very healthy and yummy.

 Well, here they are everywhere. If you want to try to pick some and eat, come to Suffolk. We went to Shingle street to pick, but I think I saw them in southwold or walberswick.

Well, taste was like broccoli and asparagus just like what everyone said.

First, cut off the tough stalks. Then blanched the leaves in lightly salted water. Drain them, put in cold water to prevent further cooking. It cooks quite quickly. squeeze water out. Then I marinated in: lemon juice, miso, little tamari, chili and sesame oil.  Garnished with pumpkin seeds. That's it. It was tasty.

Rest of sea kale, I chopped small and mixed with my carrot juice bits(what comes out after juicing) to make "crackers". 
I made juice with carrot, celery and cucumber (it was my snack), mixed chopped kale and soaked linseed (I blitzed 3rd of the soaked seeds), some spices and tamari and dehydrated them. It was nice and moorish. I ate very quickly, since then, I keep making "crackers" often even without sea kale. 
I think Marcus juiced some sea kale, he said it was nice. 


Oh, I think I also added strips of nori seaweed to make them more sea taste and nutritious.
