Herb Salt

Surfing in Pinterest, I found this recipe at www.theprudentgarden.com. Having fresh herbs in our garden, specially rosemary, I’ve prepared this herb salt dozen of times. We are « addicted » on it. 

Here the recipe:

• 4 to 5 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 cup Himalayan pink salt, sea salt or kosher salt (a finer grind, not chunky)
• About 2 cups loosely-packed fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary, and thyme (for the Tuscan) or what ever herbs you fancy

Strip the herbs from their stalks and give them a rough chop. Smash the garlic cloves with the side of your knife and chop them in with the herbs.

Add some of the salt to the garlic/herb pile and continue to chop. Of course, you may use a food processor to do this step. Just add the herbs, garlic cloves and about half of the salt, then process. 

Once you get the herbs and garlic finely chopped, add the rest of the salt and mix. The salt will be slightly wet at this point. Spread the salt on a cookie sheet and let it dry for a couple of hours. If you are in a hurry, turn your oven on warm (170 degrees Fahrenheit) and pop the cookie sheet in. Turn off the oven and let it sit until it’s dry to the touch. Your house will smell wonderful.

Enjoy.😉
