GOOD TASTE: Italian Herb Salt

Thursday, May 26, 2016 1:06

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

It’s that time of year. Time for the garden to start making it’s way to the table. My herb plants are way ahead of the vegetables and I don’t want to waste them so I’m going to start preserving them. One of the easiest ways is to make spice blends.

Start with herbs freshly picked from your garden. The aroma is amazing. I picked basil, thyme, oregano and rosemary.

Give them a good washing.

And then dry them.

Pick off the leaves and discard stems and any flowers. You can air dry them for a few days or speed up the process by putting them in the oven. Heat your oven to 350 degrees and then turn it off. Place your herbs on a cookie sheets and place in the oven for 10 – 20 minutes.

Once your herbs are dried out, mix with kosher salt or sea salt. I also added some Himalayan Pink Salt to make things even more interesting. Himalayan Pink Salt is considered one of the purest salts around.

Add a dash of flavor with fresh pepper and pulse the mixture in a food processor.

Fresh herb blends are so much more flavorful than store bought versions. Even if you don’t have an herb garden, you can purchase fresh herbs and make batches of herb blends to use throughout the year. Store them in airtight containers and use them as gifts.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
