I'm back and it feels great to be here again, as usual going away served its purpose and I feel inspired to create and I have lots of ideas that I want to try out to see if it is something I can serve you here on Lucullian. As to my trip to Switzerland, I will post about that later this week with lots of photos for those of you who are curious about what it looks like there!
It is so ridiculously simple to create your own spice and/or herb salts that I wonder why we have to buy them at all, here you have a version that I personally like very much, it is spicy and herby and even a little sweet which contrasts well with the salt, I hope you will like it as much as I do! It is pretty wonderful on fresh tomatoes, I can tell you that!
HOME-MADE HERB AND SPICE SALT
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp pink peppercorns
2 tblsp table salt of the sort you prefer
There are two ways to do this, one is to use a mortar and pestle to crush the herbs and the spices and the other is to whiz all the herbs and spices in a spice mill or food processor. Whichever way you choose, you add the salt after you have worked with the spices and herbs. That's it-your herb and spice salt is ready to be used!
:) this is telepathy !! I just did some yesterday, with "algues" and fleurs de souci (yellow flowers) and today in town, I found some sweet little spoon to be added to the salt... when I'll offer it !
ReplyDeleteYes, its easy and delicious ! thanks for your version, I'll try that next time!
This looks lovely - I am so lazy about making my own! My fave salt mixes usually have a little paprika... and a little sugar in them!
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. It's the little things in life that make it worthwhile living!
ReplyDeleteI just got an array of organic peppercorns from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com and I think I'll have to give this a try. I never thought to this and I'm so happy I found this! So much less expensive and how fun to make your own blend!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!!
ReplyDeleteYour herb/spice salt looks so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI also prefer home made spice and herb fresh or dred. This is very good recipe. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am 100% doing this at the weekend!! It looks like it would work beautifully with some Homegrown Zucchini & Riccotta! Or rubbed into a pork shoulder...so many choices. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Ilva, and so effective! I love it, like I did your basil sugar!
ReplyDeleteThis is good. We don't get herbed sugars or salts here, so I'm going to make me some of this. :)
ReplyDelete... I knead to grind salt now ...
ReplyDeleteLOve this post!! Thank you.
