I visited my brother at his house for the first time in years a few weeks ago, and found something amazing - herb-infused salts! That he made himself! This is not surprising, if you know my brother. I recall a time when he was probably 16 or 17. I was in the kitchen with him while he was cooking something. Grinding herbs in the mortar & pestle. He comes over to me at the table and says, "Smell this. Do you think it needs more tarragon?" I still don't know what tarragon smells like! Anyway, this guy loves to cook in interesting ways.
These salts are awesome because:
1) they're made with beautiful coarse sea salt
2) they're all in these lovely understated mason jars
3) they are SO easy
4) I wish I had thought of this
I'm pretty sure he just mixed up some salt with some fresh herbs. One is rosemary and garlic (whole cloves), another is a poultry blend, and I'm not sure what the orange one is.
If we had stayed longer, I would have loved to use some of this gorgeous salt in some way! Even if it was just to spice up some eggs... Yum!
