| David's Seaweed Sables |
Toasted nori is hard to chop by the way! I ended up using scissors and didn't get the pieces as small as I would have liked. After slicing the cookies pink Himalayan salt was sprinkled on top for color and crunch.
I don't think I'll be making them again. They might be trés chic in Paris but just don't play with the Oklahoma cocktail party crowd!
See what the other French Friday cooks have to say!
These were an intersting one for sure. I did like them, but I wouldn't want them everyday. Overall, the seaweed belongs in my miso soup and my sushi rolls :-)
ReplyDeleteThe himalayan salt looks good! This is too sophisticated to serve just like that. I like your contrasting color Guyla!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Guyla! I really liked the texture, just not the seaweed. I ended up tearing it by hand.
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree with the hard to chop thing! I forgot all about that...and I used scissors too :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yep on the probably not going to make again, as well!
I'm so glad I passed on these after reading your review! They wouldn't have gone over well here, either...I made up the beets from last week instead.
ReplyDeleteI live an hour outside of Manhattan and we did not find this tre chic either...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I gave them a try but I think I'm the only one who really liked them so that probably means I won't make them again. Yours look pretty with the pink salt on top!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hated these. And I agree, nori is really hard to cut! I wound up using the food processor, which helped enormously.
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't care for these - I think you either love them or not. I gave a package to our favorite sushi bar last night and the chef loved them!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm with ya this week. On the nori being difficult to cut and on the fact that I probably will not be making these again. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the chopping of the nori. I ended up pulling it apart by hand. I did like the end result of the sablés, but I seem to be the only one eating these recipes lately. Tricia thought they were fishy, hubby had one or two, and guess who ate the rest. (I hate to waste anything)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the himalayan salt, sounds tasty and looks pretty. Have a great weekend.
Your salt looks pretty! I liked these, and was really surprised that my leftovers were so well received at the office today. I had some mixed reviews last night from my guests. I love the concept, though the nori might not get the nod the next time. Yours look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI hear you! :) They look beautiful with the pink Himalayan salt.
ReplyDeleteWhat Cher said, nice, but not an every day taste. By the way, I put the nori in my food processor when I got tired of trying to chop it with my knife.
ReplyDeleteI had to use the scissors to chop the nori too - a knife just wasn't going to do it. I then kind of crunched it up in my hands to make the bits smaller. The pink salt looks lovely on top - sorry they weren't a hit.
ReplyDeleteGuyla, I used scissors to chop mine, too! I found these surprisingly delicious…I was prepared not to! I would make these again but would love to give the sesame seeds a try, like Paula did! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThe pink Himalayan salt looks very pretty with these sablés, a very nice touch for the presentation! I ended up using scissors for the nori as well, it was impossible to chop even with my freshly sharpened knife - the nori pieces went flying all over the counter and the scissors seemed the only way to go. Got very mixed reviews as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
I used the spice grinder, which was perfect for such a small amount. My kids really enjoyed these, but I don't know that they'll be making a regular appearance at our house!
ReplyDeleteI like the color that the pink salt added to the cookies. We liked these well enough, but not sure if they will ever get made again. It was a very interesting experiment, right?
ReplyDeleteI had a ton of trouble chopping the nori too. I ended up putting it in the food processor, and even that didn't get it as fine as I wanted...I don't think too many of us are going to be making these sables again!
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't a tasty treat for me either but the combination of the nori and the Pink Himalayan salt might make this sablé a novelty on a holiday cocktail table. Can you just see this with Eggnog? Well, no, I can't either! In the end, I think I was glad I tried this week's recipe - had never used Nori in anything before. I am an Iowa girl so think next week's recipe, which is all about corn, will suit me better. (Yes, I'm so provincial.)
