Fresh Herb And Garlic Salt

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Bulbs Garlic
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Basil
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Chives
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Thyme
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Rosemary
  • 2/3 Cup Sea Salt
  • 2 Zest of 2 Lemons

Instructions

  1. Separate garlic cloves and peel them. Shaking the cloves vigorously in a closed jar helps loosen the skin and makes peeling much easier.
  2. Add all ingredients in a food chopper or food processor and chop as fine as possible.

  3. Spread a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Using a spatula spread minced garlic mix onto the lined cookie sheet in a thin and even layer.
  4. Turn on the oven to your lowest setting, the ideal temperature is 150° F but the lowest mine goes is 170°F. I use the convection setting on my oven, it helps the garlic dry faster.
  5. Stir the drying garlic mix every so often to help it dry evenly. it will take about 2- 2 1/2 hours to fully dry. Because of the water content of the fresh herbs trying time may vary.

  6. The garlic is dry when it has the consistency of corn flakes and will break instead of bending. Let the garlic mix cool.
  7. Using a clean coffee grinder, grind the garlic mix until the desired consistency is reached.
