We’ve written about Herbes Salees before and I’ve frequently blathered on about my love for them. If you’re new to the term, it simply describes a mixture of salt and herbs. The salt pulls liquid from the herbs and cures them. You use them as you would use any salt but they are especially good when added at the end of cooking or just before serving.
Depending on the amount of salt you use you may find that your jar has liquid (the more sale you add, the less liquid you’ll get). The liquid is as usable as the rest of the contents so don’t be afraid of it!
Given that it’s spring and the start of wild leek (aka ramp) season I thought it would be a great time to mix things up and make a salt with them. It’s fantastically easy and very scalable.
