This recipe comes from Soaked, Slathered, and Seasoned by Elizabeth Karmel. Am posting for safekeeping and think the technique is interesting. Good for seasoning grilled fish, shellfish; chicken; eggplant, tomatoes. The olives they suggest are French and called picholine olives which is a green olive w/o pimento. The preparation time is the drying time. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons green olives, minced (picholine olives) |
1/2 cup fleur de sel |
lemon zest, from 1 lemon |
Directions:
1. Place the minced olives at the end of one side of a paper towel and roll the paper towel to wrap the olives.
2. Squeeze the excess moisture out (otherwise, the moisture will melt the salt).
3. In a small bowl, mix the salt, dried minced olives and lemon zest together.
4. Use immediately, or cover a baking sheet with a silicone liner or a piece of parchment paper and spread the olive mixture over the liner.
5. Let sit in a cool, dry place until completely dry, about 4 hours.
6. When dried, the salt will keep in an airtight glass container for up to 6 months.
