How to make fresh herb salts at home (Tarragon or Rosemary Salt)
Fresh herb salt is a simple but flavorful condiment that can be easily made at home using just a few ingredients. Here's a step-by-step guide to making your own fresh herb salt:
Equipment
- Cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup of coarse sea salt or kosher salt
- 1/4 cup of fresh tarragon or rosemary
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry your herbs. You can use any herbs you like, such as rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, parsley, cilantro, or a combination of these.
- Remove the leaves from the stems and finely chop the herbs using a sharp knife.
- In the food processor, pulse the ingredients to desired texture of your liking. Spread the herb salt mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the herb salt mixture on cookie sheet air dry for 24-48 hours, occasionally stirring, until the herbs are completely dry and the salt is infused with their flavors. You can also speed up the drying process by placing the baking sheet in a warm oven set to the lowest temperature with the door slightly ajar.
- Once the herb salt is completely dry, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use it.
