Garlic Herbs Salt:
Makes about 1 cup
Recipe adapted from Saveur magazine.
- 1/2 cup coarse sea salt
- 1 cup fresh mixed herbs (Rosemary, Sage, Thyme..)
- 6 cloves garlic
Crush the Garlic cloves and chop them with half of the salt to form a paste, add the herbs and the rest of the salt by batches while still chopping until everything is well incorporated and the herbs finely chopped.
Spread on a parchment lined cookie sheet and let sit un-covered 12 to 24 hours until the mixture is dry and crumbly.
When the salt is ready to pack, break up any big lumps with your fingers and store in airtight glass containers for up to 1 month.
