Dulse is the seaweed, Palmaria palmata, also known as purple laver and it used to be a staple foodstuff for coastal communities in all the Celtic nations. The following recipe is a classic Hebridean one.

Ingredients:

25g dried dulse
50g raisins
175g shredded white cabbage
1 medium carrot, grated
2 shallots, finely chopped
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Soak the dulse for 10 minutes in a bowl of water. Also soak the raising in a small bowl of warm water so that they plump up.

Meanwhile, put the shredded cabbage, grated carrot and shallots in a large mixing bowl. Drain the raisins and add to the bowl. Drain the dulse, chop and also add this to the bowl. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl then pour over the vegetables and mix thoroughly. Season liberally then mix once again.
