- 3 cloves garlic finely diced
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed Italian herbs
- 1 ½ cups tomato passata or tinned chopped tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- A handful of marinated olives of choice

Instructions
- Soak dried seaweed in cold water for 10 minutes. In the meantime, bring a medium pot of water to boil and dice the ingredients.
- Rinse the pre-soaked seaweed and add to the boiling water. Cook for 15 minutes then strain (you may want to keep the broth for soups) and rinse under warm water.
