Herb Salt

Herb salt can be used to season pastas, pizzas, stews, to cure duck legs, hams or salmon. In fact, it can be used for anything you would normally use salt for and it will bring its own background flavours.

Ingredients:

1lb of sea salt
1 tblspn of thyme leaves
½ tblspn of rosemary leaves
½ tblspn of dill leaves
12 large basil leaves
4 wild garlic leaves

Method:

Roughly chop the herbs, place in a food processor with the salt and blitz for 5 minutes. Turn the salt out onto a tray and place in the oven at its lowest possible setting overnight. Blitz again and store in an airtight jar.

This may seem a lot but it will keep for ages, and don't be afraid to experiment with your own combination of herbs or spices.
