Here are two easy ways to use cochayuyo. Cochayuyo is a versatile, tubular kelp seaweed packed with nutrition that you can use in a variety of dishes. Cochayuyo can be eaten raw or cooked, and is generally sold in dried bundles that need to be re-hydrated before being used in a recipe. It is a great vegetarian option high in protein, so it’s terrific for non-meat recipes.

How to make a Cochayuyo Salad Recipe

Ingredients:
2 cups diced COCHAYUYO (use the lighter cochayuyo)
1-3 cloves minced GARLIC
1 Tbsp minced GINGER
3 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
2 Tbsp LIME JUICE
SALT and PEPPER to taste

In a bowl, combine the oil and lime juice and mix well. If you don’t have fresh lime juice, use fresh lemon juice, or substitute a bottled citrus juice or vinegar. Add the minced ginger and garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Add the chopped cochayuyo and toss with the dressing.
Serve as a salad topping, or as a topping for any dish that needs a little pizzazz and can benefit from a bit of chewiness.

I find that sliced cochayuyo pairs well with black beans in a skillet saute. Here is one of my favorite ways to use this hearty seaweed in a hot dish. This is a good recipe for cleaning out the fridge, so substitute whatever veggies you have on hand.
