Ingredients
  • 50 g sea salt
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dry thyme
Cooking method
  1. Heat the salt to about 100°C in a large frying pan. The salt should be very hot. To the bowl with lemon zest, add thyme and hot salt, mix. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Crush the salt with zest and thyme in a pestle and mortar. Store the salt in a sealed jar. You can store such salt forever, because salt is a natural preservative. The colour will fade slightly over time, but the aroma will be there if the jar with salt is always kept tightly closed.
My tips and tricks
You can add this salt to meat and poultry marinades, when you salt fish, or add it to tagines or salads. And it is also delicious to sprinkle baked potatoes with it: on hot potatoes, just from the oven, put a piece of butter and sprinkle with aromatic salt.
