Preparation of Flavored Salt in 3 Homemade Versions
Weigh all ingredients using bowls and scales, then place them in the blender and blend coarsely. If the salt heats up, let it cool, and once cooled, pour it into the jar, label it with the name delicate/green, close it, and set aside.
This salt is suitable for use on meat (white and red), fish, vegetables, bruschetta, roasted potatoes. It is a versatile salt because it remains very delicate!
Using the scales and bowl, weigh all the ingredients, mix them well, and pour them into the jar. In this case, no blending is necessary, close it and label it with aromatic/India.
This salt is suitable for use with: white meats (chicken, turkey, rabbit), to season and flavor risottos and broths.
Weigh all the ingredients, then mix them in a bowl and pour them into the jar. If you want, before jarring, you can blend everything like in the first delicate salt, but personally, I prefer to leave it natural, close it with a lid, and label it with spicy/fire.
This salt is dedicated to those who love strong flavors and is suitable for use with: red meats, bbq ribs, pasta sauces, fish dishes like mussel stew or wherever a spicy note is needed.
TIPS FOR PACKAGING JARS AND GIVING THEM AS GIFTS AT CHRISTMAS OR OTHER OCCASIONS
To package this flavored salt in 3 homemade versions, I recommend, once the jar is closed, applying the label with the type of salt, then using a string to attach around the jar a card/tag with the intended uses for each type of salt (uses found below each preparation in the dedicated section above).
You can gift individual flavors/jars packaged as described above or you can gift all 3 flavors together, packaging them (in addition to cards and strings as described above) inside a wooden crate (easily found in DIY stores at a low price) along with a Christmas-themed towel, they will be very appreciated gifts, I assure you!
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use regular salt instead of pink salt?
Yes, you can use regular salt, but you should remember that it remains more “savory/salty” than pink salt, so the aromas will be a bit less pronounced, but it will still be good.
