Garlic Saltburst
If you're like us, its very difficult to cook dinner from scratch when you come home from work every day.
We do our best to cook locally grown vegetables and farm-raised meat, but the time factor makes it
challenging. We created our Garlic Saltburst to save ourselves time and we hope it will save you
time as well.
One of the staples in our kitchen is fresh garlic, which we use in virtually everything. We found
ourselves needing (okay, wanting...) roasted garlic when cooking dinner, but every product contained dried
garlic or garlic powder. Never the real thing. Also, we had just started using sea salt in place of regular
table salt and we thought it would be convenient if they both came in the same container. One weekend, we
whipped up a batch and started using it at dinner parties we were hosting and attending. Our friends loved
it, so we took it to a local chef who said he would buy some if we bottled it and the rest is, as they say,
history.
How We Make It
- Making Garlic Saltburst is a very time-intensive process, but it all begins
with the selection of fresh
garlic. We personally inspect and hand-select every head of garlic.
- We roast the garlic.
- Then we mix in all the ingredients by hand.
- The salt is then ground in a food processor before it is bottled.
- The final step is to seal each bottle, add the decorative rafia, and the product
label. We write and
design all of our own labels and product literature and have it printed at a small local printer. When
possible, we use recycled paper.
Ingredients
Garlic Saltburst is a combination of roasted garlic, Portuguese sea salt, fresh-squeezed lemon, and
Persian sumac.
Recommended Uses
Garlic Saltburst is great as a rub on meats, but you can sprinkle it on just about anything. It has the
warm and inviting aroma of roasted garlic that can make the cheapest cut of meat taste like its been aged
in garlic. If you sprinkle a few granules in mashed potatoes just
as you're mashing them, you'll get tiny bursts of fresh-roasted garlic salt in every other bite. Or, for
your next dinner party, add it to olive oil and use it as a dip with your favorite bread. We love
it on steak and ribs! But honestly, its great on everything...
