ingredients:
- 15 g dried hijiki
- 2 slices bacon
- 80 g red or yellow bell pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 10 g butter
- a little salt
- 255 ml water

step 1:
Soak the dried hijiki in 240 ml of the water in a bowl for 30 minutes and drain.

step 2:
Chop the garlic clove. Cut the bacon slices into 8 equal portions. Remove the seeds of the bell pepper and cut into thin slices. Cut them in half widthwise.

step 3:
Put the butter in a pan over a low flame and sear the garlic for about a couple of minutes. Add the hijiki, bacon and bell pepper and sear.

step 4:
Add the remaining 15 ml of water and a little salt. Cover and simmer for about 2 minutes on low heat.

comment:
The butter flavored bacon suits hijiki very well. Bell peppers have different nutritional values depending on their color. Red has a preventive effect on arteriosclerosis and myocardial infarction; yellow is good for the skin and eyes.
