How to make your own rosemary salt

Add a Comment

by Chef John, Cooking Examiner

Rosemary Salt Photo (c) John Mitzewich

This simple how-to video recipe, done for About.com, is perfect for those impossible-to-shop-for foodies. It's amazing how much people appreciate a homemade gift. The fact that you took the time to create an actual handmade "finishing salt," will make up for that "Kiss the Cook" apron you bought them. By the way, how many times have you seen them wear it?

A finishing salt is a flavored salt meant to be sprinkled on food right before serving. A nice slice of roast leg of lamb is great, but finished with a little pinch of this aromatic salt and you have something even better. It's also great to cook with, and makes a mean pan of roasted potatoes.

For more info: Go to my blog, Food Wishes Video Recipes. There you'll find the ingredient amount links, as well as more foodie fun.
