Equipment
- Food processor
- Pestle and mortar
Ingredients
- 2 oz Wild Garlic Remove the stalks which contain a lot of moisture.
- 1 cup Coarse sea salt. Alternatively: Finely ground sea salt
Instructions
- Remove any roots or debris from the wild garlic leaves. If necessary, you can rinse the leaves under cold water and use a salad spinner and a clean tea towel to pat them dry.
- Roughly chop the leaves and place them in the food processor together with roughly half of the salt. Blitz to create a wild garlic paste.
- Add the remaining salt and blitz briefly to combine. You can blitz a little longer if you prefer a finer finishing salt.
- Spread the salt blend on a baking tray lined with parchment or a large plate and leave it in a warm place to dry completely overnight in the oven with the door slightly open and the light on for a little added warmth. To help with drying, you may need to use a fork to break up the salt mixture occasionally, depending on the water content of the paste.
- When the mixture is completely dry, break it up and transfer it to a pestle and mortar. Grind to your preferred consistency. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for this step, but a pestle and mortar will give you more control over the end result.
- If you find the flavor to be too strong, you can mix in a few grams of salt to dilute the flavour.
Notes
Store in a cool dark place for up to 6 months.
The salt will still be fine after 6 months but will begin to lose flavor. Wild garlic sea salt is the perfect seasoning and finishing salt for just about any savory dish! You can just replace your table salt altogether or use this as a finishing garnish for a special occasion!
