Braised Kelp, Carrot and Onion with Maple Syrup
APRIL 15, 2021
By CHEF KEN
Yield: 3-4 cups
Kelp is one of the most widely consumed vegetables from the sea. It is rich in minerals and vitamins, and believed to remove heavy metals from the human body.
Try to purchase chopped kelp (available natural foods stores) which will ease the preparation. (I use Maine Coast Sea Vegetables brand.) You can also use fettucine style frozen kelp, found in some natural foods markets.
