Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh parsley
- 50 grams Fresh chives
- 50 grams Fresh basil
- 30 grams Fresh thyme
- 20 grams Fresh rosemary
- 200 grams Coarse sea salt
Instructions
Wash all the herbs thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Remove any tough stems from the parsley, basil, thyme, and rosemary, leaving only the tender leaves and smaller stems. Chop the herbs finely using a sharp knife or a food processor.
Transfer the finely chopped herbs into a large mixing bowl. Add the coarse sea salt, combining it thoroughly with the herbs to distribute the salt evenly.
Place the salted herb mixture into a clean, airtight glass jar, pressing it down firmly to remove any air pockets. The salt will act as a preservative and draw out moisture from the herbs.
Store the jar in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to rest for 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld. The salted herbs can be kept refrigerated for up to 6 months.
Use the salted herbs as a seasoning in soups, stews, marinades, or sprinkled over roasted vegetables or meats. Adjust any additional salt in recipes, as the mixture is already salty.
