Infusion is, without question, one of my most favorite ways of imparting extra umph and scrumptious goodness to the foods and drinks I love. From coffee, to compound butter, to vinaigrettes, and beyond, it's found its way into my repertoire on more than a few occasions. No coincidences there.
Over the weekend, I was inspired to combine some of my favorite herbs (thyme, rosemary and parsley) with several cloves of fresh garlic to create a beautiful and exceptionally delicious garlic herb salt. And, if you're remotely like me, then you might be tempted to salivate slightly at just the thought of all the ways this treasure will transform your dishes and enhance your cooking regimen.
The hand-chopped technique, along with the overnight air-drying, yielded the perfect coarse, crumbly texture. All stored away, with a little reserved for gifting, it's a welcomed gourmet addition to my pantry--and it should be in yours, too.
Happy Eating!
