Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Saffron threads
Instructions
In a small bowl, measure out 1 cup of coarse sea salt and set aside.
Using a mortar and pestle, gently crush 1 teaspoon of saffron threads into a fine powder. This helps release the saffron's natural oils and intensifies its aroma.
Gradually add the crushed saffron to the sea salt in batches, mixing thoroughly with each addition to distribute the saffron evenly.
Continue mixing the salt and saffron until the salt takes on a vibrant golden-yellow color and the threads are evenly dispersed throughout.
Transfer the saffron salt to an airtight container or glass jar for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the flavor and color of the saffron salt.
Use the saffron salt as a finishing salt to sprinkle over dishes for an aromatic and flavorful touch.
