Homemade Herb Salt
By mahto
Place 1/2 cup coarse sea salt, rosemary, and lemon thyme in the bowl of a food processor
- Chef's Note:
- 1/2 cup coarse sea salt
- 1/4 cup packed fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup packed fresh lemon thyme leaves
- 1 cup sea salt
- I used rosemary and lemon thyme in this recipe, but other hearty green herbs also work. By hearty, I mean herbs that are sturdy and resinous, like savory, oregano, and marjoram. Fragile herbs like dill, chervil, and cilantro, just don't work as well.
