Wash the laver well in cold water, put it in a large saucepan and simmer for several hours. (It is not necessary to add water as the leaves themselves contain sufficient moisture.)
When soft, drain the leaves thoroughly, chop finely with a sharp knife and add salt to taste.
Form mixture into small balls and roll in oatmeal.
