I am positively crazy about this Farmhouse Herb Salt! A blend of fresh lemon, garlic, rosemary, sage, and coarse kosher salt sounded simple enough, but one sprinkle on my potatoes, and I understood why he wouldn't stop talking about it! It has a Mediterranean flavor profile that makes even a simple baked potato seem a little more special.
I started with potatoes, then tried it on simple frozen vegetables and eggs! Oh, my goodness, this combination makes eggs a whole new experience! My brother is the family Traeger king, and his wife is a great cook, too. They are always up to date on what's happening in the food world, and they shared this with me.
It is just a simple blend of fresh herbs, garlic, lemon zest, and coarse kosher salt. But don't let its simplicity fool you. The fresh, herby fragrance is intoxicating—it smells like an herb garden after a summer rain.
Farmhouse Herb Salt is an easy way to add bright, savory flavor to everyday meals. Sprinkle it over roasted vegetables, chicken, pork, Russet potatoes, eggs, popcorn, or buttered bread for fantastic garlic bread. It keeps well, makes a thoughtful homemade gift, and is one of those seasonings I find myself reaching for again and again - I love it!
This homemade herb salt combines just a handful of fresh ingredients:
The salt preserves the herbs while the lemon zest adds a fresh burst of flavor that brightens everything from roasted vegetables to grilled meats.
Making farmhouse herb salt couldn't be easier. Pulse the rosemary, sage, garlic, lemon zest, and coarse kosher salt together in a food processor until the herbs are finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the salt. Every ingredient should be about the same size as the salt crystals.
Transfer the mixture to clean jars or airtight containers and refrigerate. It will keep in the refrigerator for months, and you can freeze extra batches to enjoy long after herb season has passed.
As it is stored, the flavors mellow and blend together into a wonderfully fragrant seasoning that's ready whenever you need a little extra flavor. Just a pinch can bring the simplest dish to life!
Farmhouse Herb Salt is especially delicious sprinkled over Hasselback Potatoes, stirred into Cheesy Potato Casserole, or brushed onto warm Beer Bread with melted butter. It also adds fresh, garden flavor to hearty favorites like burgers or Goulash.
A fresh blend of garlic and herbs that gives ordinary kosher salt a delightful Mediterranean flavor profile
Because it's made with fresh herbs and garlic, store it in the refrigerator. It keeps well for several months, and you can freeze extra jars for even longer storage.
This seasoning is delicious on roasted potatoes, chicken, pork, beef, vegetables, eggs, popcorn, fresh bread with butter, and even stirred into soups and casseroles.
Coarse kosher salt is ideal because it blends well with the fresh herbs and garlic while providing great texture and flavor.
Absolutely! Spoon it into small glass jars, add a ribbon and a handwritten tag, and you've got a thoughtful homemade gift for gardeners, neighbors, teachers, or anyone who loves to cook.
