Kaffir Lime Leaf Salt
« on: December 28, 2015, 10:46:25 pm »
This salt can be used in many SE Asian dishes. I will use it mostly on fish and chicken.

Ingredients

These are approximate.

20 fresh Kaffir leaves, washed and dried in a warm room for 2 days.
2 heaped Tablespoons of good salt.

Method

Grind leaves on speed 8 for 10 seconds
Add salt and grind for 10 seconds , speed 8( or to desired texture),
Keep in plastic jar with lid.

Notes
Should add a pinch of Chilli flakes for an extra kick.

This would have a lovely smell I imagine.  Did you need to take the centre vein out of the leaves please Chookie?
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Cookie, I used young leaves like the ones in the photo.  The smell was very strong.
I think you could also use Rosemary, and use this on roast lamb.
