ingredients:
- 1/2 ounce dried hijiki
- 2 slices bacon
- 3 ounces red or yellow bell pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/3 ounce butter
- a little salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup water for soaking
step 1:
Soak the dried hijiki in the 1 cup 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 1 tablespoon 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.
