Homemade spice blend

Making your own spice blend is a great way to use your own homegrown herbs. This rosemary salt is perfect if you grow rosemary.

You just cut the rosemary into long stems, dry it and then add it to the salt. It's really that easy!

But the best part is the flavor you get from the rosemary salt! The rosemary infuses the salt with its herbaceous flavor and the salt becomes a chef's or home cook's dream!

Use this gourmet salt in just about everything! I like to sprinkle on grilled meats, especially beef, venison, or lamb just before cooking. You really don't have to add any other seasonings.

I also like to sprinkle it on anything that I'd normally add a bit of salt to. Sprinkle on pasta, salads, and soups. The list really is endless!

Key ingredients

A pile of dehydrated rosemary leaves.
  • Rosemary - I use dried rosemary. The most flavorful rosemary will be one that you've dried yourself and then use right away. If using purchased dried rosemary, look for a dark green color in a sealed container.
  • Salt - Use coarse salt to make this mixture. I use coarse kosher salt. Flaked sea salt will also work. Avoid using regular table salt.

Step-by-step directions

Chopping dried rosemary.

  • Remove dried rosemary from the stems, if still attached
  • Chop rosemary into small pieces. You want a fine chop, but not powdered.
  • Add rosemary to salt and mix well
  • Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature

Recipe tips

  • When chopping dried rosemary, it tends to fly all over the place. Just keep mounding it back into the center of the cutting board. As the rosemary gets smaller, it's easier to cut.
  • A mini food processor can also be used to chop the rosemary. Just pulse until the desired size has been reached. Don't let the rosemary become too small and powdery.
  • Store in small glass jars in your spice cabinet

Frequently asked questions

How long will rosemary salt last?

Rosemary salt won't ever go bad, but it may begin to lose some of its flavors over time. For best results, try to use it within 6 months.
