Salt with a Twist

Next time you reach for the salt and pepper, think about adding a flavour twist that is sure to cause a tastebud sensation.

The first is chilli salt.  For those that like things hot, chilli salt adds that extra kick.  To make simply add 1 part chilli pieces (not powder) to 3 parts sea salt. Dry roast on the stove pot until the aroma develops.  Take it of the heat and grind using a motor and pestle.  The salt should become a pale red colour.

The second is sichuan salt and pepper. Sichuan creates a lovely tingling sensation on the tongue and is fantastic in Chinese dishes.  To make simply add 1 part sichuan to 3 parts sea salt.  Dry roast on the stove pot until the aroma develops.  Take it of the heat and grind using a motor and pestle. The salt should become a light brown colour. It will have the most amazing aroma.

Keep both salts in an air tight container. 

Note: It is very important you use sea salt and not the ordinary table salt for these recipes.
