Herb Salt Recipes

Herb salts are a fantastic way to preserve the flavor of fresh herbs and add a burst of complex taste to your cooking. They are essentially a blend of salt (typically coarse sea salt or kosher salt) and fresh or dried herbs, often with other aromatic ingredients like garlic, citrus zest, or chili flakes.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

2 cups salt of choice I like Redmond Real Salt
1 cup fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, sage, cilantro)
1 garlic clove optional
1 tbsp lemon zest optional

Equipment

1 food processor or blender

Method

In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients. Pulse a few times to integrate the herbs into the salt, being careful not to over-process the ingredients into powder.
Set oven to its lowest temperature (about 200°F), and dry the salt for 45 minutes to an hour, until dry to touch. Store in an airtight jar at room temperature in a cupboard for up to 1 year.
