Basil Salt is a versatile seasoning that beautifully blends the fresh and herbaceous flavour of basil with the rich and savoury notes of salt. It's a marriage made in culinary heaven, allowing you to infuse your dishes with the essence of basil while enhancing their overall taste. The vibrant green colour of Basil Salt adds a visually appealing element to your creations, making it a delightful addition to both your cooking and presentation.
Creating your batch of Basil Salt is simple and rewarding. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup coarse sea salt Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 90°C.
2️⃣ Wash and dry the basil leaves thoroughly, ensuring there is no excess moisture.
3️⃣ Spread the basil leaves evenly on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the basil leaves dry for about 20-30 minutes or until they become crispy.
4️⃣ Once the basil leaves are completely dried, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
5️⃣ Combine the dried basil leaves and salt in a food processor or spice grinder. Pulse the mixture until the basil leaves are finely ground and well incorporated with the salt.
6️⃣ Transfer the Basil Salt to an airtight container or spice jar, and store it in a cool, dry place.
Use the Basil Salt as desired in your favourite recipes, adjusting the quantity according to your taste preferences.
