There are a few things that I need in my kitchen, it goes without saying, the Thermomix. It goes without saying, hot water (clean freak) and it goes without saying, Umami…and of course salt.
I do rely on the flavoured salts I have been producing en masse to liven up my cooking life. In fact I was in a hurry one time (funny that!) and threw a few shrimps on the barbie as we supposedly do 'down under', and with a smidgen of Olive Citrus Salt, they tasted divine, were duly impressive for the assembled crowd (who expect a lot at my house!) and I'm not just making this up…but take it all with a grain of salt if you like...
Use flavored salts as rubs for uncooked meats, fishes etc.
Use as seasoning in place of regular salt on just about anything.
Add Vanilla salt to hot chocolate for a real treat.
Tie your salt flavors to your cuisine;
Vanilla Salt; Cajun or Caribbean
Saffron Salt; Middle Eastern or Mediterranean
Olive Citrus Salt; Mediterranean
Pomegranate Salt; Moroccan or Turkish
Fennel Salt; Mediterranean
Chili Lime Salt; Caribbean, South American or Asian
