Kale and dried sausage dashi
Dashi is a basic ingredient in Japanese cuisine and is normally made from kombu (seaweed) and bonito flakes. This dashi has a real Dutch twist to it as it is made from kale and dried sausage. It has a surprising umami flavour, which is very complex but makes it suitable for a variety of dishes.
