Use Himalayan salt as a cooking ingredient. These ten ideas focus on seasoning and recipe choice, using products labelled for food use. Choose fine or coarse grains to suit the preparation.
1. Roast vegetables
Use fine salt to season vegetables according to your recipe before roasting. Taste the finished dish before adding more.
2. Soups
Add a little seasoning as the soup cooks. If the recipe reduces the liquid, check the final taste before the last addition.
3. Salad dressings
Mix fine salt into the liquid ingredients so the dressing seasons evenly. Taste the dressing with a piece of the salad you plan to serve.
4. Bread recipes
Use the grain size and weight stated in the bread recipe. Do not replace a measured weight with an unmeasured spoonful.
5. Grilled vegetables
Season as your recipe directs, then add a small finishing sprinkle if needed just before serving.
6. Rice and grain dishes
Check the recipe before seasoning, particularly when using an already salted stock or sauce.
7. Beans and lentil dishes
Taste the finished dish and adjust the seasoning alongside its herbs, spices and other ingredients.
8. Sauces
Season gradually and taste again after simmering. The final amount of liquid affects how concentrated the seasoning tastes.
9. A table grinder
Choose coarse salt that is suitable for your grinder. Keep the grinder dry and follow its refill instructions.
10. A finishing pinch
When a recipe calls for coarse salt, its larger grains can be part of the final texture. Use the format your recipe recommends.
