My Kitchen My Table

Rosemary and Lemon Sea Salt

I got crafty in the kitchen this year and made some gifts for the cooks in my life. For years I have cooked with sea salt rubs. I love how they pack that extra flavor and turn an average dish into something special.

A simple and versatile flavor combo of rosemary, lemon, salt and pepper was selected. And knowing my limitations in the craft department I wanted to make sure that I could make a presentable looking package.

Here is the result. Not only did it look pretty good but the rub received raves from the giftees who used it in their holiday cooking!

1/3 cup fresh rosemary leaves
¼ cup grated lemon zest
2 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ cups coarse sea salt

Combine rosemary and lemon in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add pepper and combine. Pour in salt and pulse until all ingredients are combined.

Pour mixture evenly into spice jars or canisters with tight fitting lids. Attach ribbon or gift message with serving instructions. Mine said Delicious as a rub for pork, lamb & chicken or to sprinkle on eggs & veggies.
