This recipe preserves sea lettuce in a sweet pickle, meaning that it's ready to use by just shredding and including in a dish or using as a garnish.
Ingredients:
600g young sea lettuce fronds, cut into 3-5cm pieces, washed in cold fresh water 3 times and drained
600ml white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
1/4 tsp coriander seeds
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp salt
Method:
Bring a pan of unsalted water to a boil, add the sea lettuce and blanch for 30 seconds only. Immediately drain, refresh in cold water, drain and pat dry then set aside.
Combine the vinegar, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, sugar and salt in a pan. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar and salt dissolve then bring just to a boil, take off the heat and set aside to cool and infuse for 5 minutes.
Pack the washed and blanched sea lettuce into two pickling jars. Pour over the vinegar mixture, ensuring there are no trapped air bubbles. Ensure all the seaweed is covered. Seal with vinegar-proof lids and set aside to mature for at least 2 weeks.
Once opened store in the refrigerator.
