-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Equipment:
mortar and pestle or a food processor
clean jar(s) to store the finished
product
A large cookie sheets
Ingredients:
1 cup mixed herbs, for example:
dill
rosemary
chives
tarragon
thyme
oregano
basil
2 large peeled cloves of garlic
1 cup sea salt (about 160 grams)
1. Mix the herbs and sea salt in a large bowl. Stir it to
make sure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. If you are using a mortar and pestle, spoon a manageable
amount of the mixture into the mortar and pound with pestle.
Repeat till all of the mixture is well pounded.
If you are using a food processor, place some of the mixture
into the processor and blend. Repeat till all of the mixture
is processed this way.
3. Take the blended ingredients and spread on two cookie sheets.
4. Place the cookie sheets into a 200 degrees Fahrenheit (90
degrees Celsius) oven for 40 to 50 minutes to dry the salt
mixture. Make sure to stir frequently during drying and break
up any lumps.
5. Cool the herb salts completely before storing them in
clean jars.
For those of you who have high blood pressure and need to
restrict your salt intake, herb salt can be an alternative
that you are looking for. Maybe you are pregnant and are
worried about your overall salt intake, but whatever your
reason is, herb salt is healthier and tastier than ordinary salt.
When you buy herbs for this mixture, please buy organically
grown ones. You don't want to worry about pesticides and chemical
residues on the leaves. If you wish to wash the herbs, do so in
advance and leave them to dry completely. It is absolutely
important that the herbs are dry before using them in this recipe
because drops of water will only contribute to clumping of the salt.
