When spending time anywhere, I like to explore the different delicacies a place has to offer. Having recently spent some time in Achill Island, I picked up some famous Dillisk seaweed at the country market in Ted Lavelles.

Seaweed is well known for its health properties, and I think the healthy glow of the people on this island are a testament to that! This particular type of seaweed is packed full of iron and protein and is more easily digested than land plants.

A lot of people, myself included, don’t know what to do with seaweed! Thankfully the little packet I picked up had a lovely recipe suggestion on it that I cooked and thought I would share. I don’t think breakfasts can get much healthier than this! achill dillisk seaweed
