Laverbread is a traditional Welsh delicacy made from laver seaweed (Porphyra) that's been harvested from rocky coastlines, particularly in Wales. After thorough washing, the seaweed is slow-cooked for several hours until it transforms into a dark green or black paste with a distinctive marine flavor. Home cooks typically mix laverbread with oatmeal, form it into small cakes, and fry them in bacon fat or butter until crisp on the outside. Rich in minerals and vitamins, this nutritious superfood adds depth to breakfast dishes when served alongside eggs and bacon. Don't be put off by its appearance—laverbread's unique umami flavor provides a wonderful taste of Welsh coastal tradition.
