|
|
Ingredients : |
|
|
- 10 cups of shallot leaves (greens).
- 1 kilogram of salt (pickling salt, if you are
fermenting)
|

a food processor until it becomes a fine powder. Salt is
at approximately 50% concentration. Useful for knowing
the exact amounts for seasoning and fermentation. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Directions : |
|
|
- Wash.
- Cut shallots' leaves into 1/4
inch chunks.
- Preheat the oven to 250 °F
(120 °C).
- Put the pieces of leaves
into a food processor until a paste/cream forms.
- Mix the salt into the
paste/cream.
- Spread on two baking sheets
lined with parchment paper.
- Dry in the oven for 90
minutes and mix every 15 minutes (If it is not
completely dry, continue until it is dry).
- Allow to cool.
- Grind in a coffee grinder.
- Transfer your shallot salt
into containers.
