[Tenina]

Mine arrived this morning - only ordered it yesterday   

THe things you girls know…seriously! Thanks…I will put the link into the blog post for those who are struggling so much to find it. I have not had any trouble here at all.
Thanks for the link!

Thanks Tenina - not sure you are aware that it is a UK-based site....but useful info for your myriad of UK-based followers

Made tonight, and smeared on chicken breasts.

Just wondering, is the colour right with my paste?



tomatoes were ripe, but I thought it looked a little pink instead of reddish  like Tenina's

[Very Happy Jan]

Mine was about that colour as well Maddy. I froze mine and it went a lot darker!!

[JulieO]

Yes mine is the same colour as yours Maddy. 

[maddy]

Oh thanks 
I triple read the recipe to make sure I didn't leave anything out.

I did buy the D-line  jumbo flexible  ice cube tray, for freezing this paste

[JulieO]

I have cube trays that hold 20ml, and another that holds 1tsp and 1/2 tsp.  The 1 tbs size I use for veg stock conc and the like, and the smaller ones are great for freezing left over lemon/lime juice.  Once frozen they get removed and put into zip lock bags, very handy. (plus it means not having to add all that salt to the concentrates).

Yep, about baby poo on a bad day colour! Perfect! hahaha…I have had darker versions as well, depending on the tomatoes I think.

Tenina I have just noticed that the recipe here has good balsamic in it and the one in your Superbowl book doesn't. Which is the best way to do it please?

[Frozzie]

oh phew mine was that color too maddy and i thought it was off and that i had put in way too much dulse flakes or something lol and next time would use my kitchen scales and not thermie scales as it seemed to be a whole lot...thats what i thought changed the colour as yes teninas on her website is a whole lot more nice looking 

So how did you measure your dulse flakes??  I also thought in mine the dulse flakes overpowered the other flavours so will see if it makes a difference with kitchen scales ..opps

I couldn't get dulse flakes today so bought wakame leaves to make the paste with (also seaweed).  The lady in the health food store assured me that they tasted the same.  I'm not sure now though.  This come up in a google search. 

1. What does Dulse taste like? Kinda salty, kinda nutty, kinda smoky.

1. What does Wakame taste like? Kinda salty, kinda ‘sea-fresh'.

Hmmm, whether to proceed or not?

I thought I read on here that others had used wakame and were happy with the taste.

[Halex]

Wakame is fine for us, i ave a seafood allergy so no choice

Oh good! Hally isn't wakame still seaweed?
