Arame and Carrots

This is a great recipe for those unfamiliar with seaweed even children love to eat this. Seaweed is rich in minerals, especially iron and is wonderful to incorporate frequently in one's fare. Seaweed also contains protein, so this can even be a main dish. Everyone who tries this is pleasantly amazed at how delectable it truly is.

Serves 2 as a main course

1/2t sesame oil

1 onion chopped

1/2 cup grated carrot (peeled if not organic) as a variation use grated parsnip as well

1T tamari

1 ounce of arame

1 cup water

1T tahini

1T agave syrup

1T sesame seeds

dash of sea salt


Heat oil in a medium size heavy saucepan over medium heat and sauté onion for 5 minutes.

Add grated carrot and tamari until juices have been released and tamari begins to dry up slightly (do not burn), depending on your cookware, this is about 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and allow to cook over low heat until arame has absorbed the water and arame is tender which takes usually 15-20 minutes. Serve with brown rice and a touch of toasted sesame oil (optional) or steamed sweet potatoes or steamed butternut or Kombucha squash.
