Spicy Salt Recipe

Spicy Salt Recipe

Spicy Salt Recipe:


Ingredients:

  • Sea Salt or any salt will do!
  • Dried Peppers (any hot peppers or super hot peppers are great in this recipe, you can also make Red Hatch Chile Salt with dried red Hatch chiles!)
  • Herbs (optional, you can add dried oregano, rosemary, thyme, basil, curry, turmeric... the options are endless!) 


Directions:

Put salt and dried peppers into a spice grinder, coffee grinder or food processor and pulse until well mixed. Or if you have a molcajete, that's also a great way to grind up your spicy salt. Store in clean jars. These make great gifts! 

Fun Fact:
Did you know that dried peppers have their own unique names? A smoke-dried Jalapeno is a Chipotle pepper. A dried Poblano pepper is called an Ancho pepper. A dried Anaheim chile is called a Colorado chile. A dried Mirasol pepper is called a Guajillo. Any of these peppers would be delicious for this spicy salt recipe!
