FOOL'S SALT - SEL FOU - FRENCH STYLE SEASONING SALT



Fool's Salt - Sel Fou - French Style Seasoning Salt image

Every self-respecting French housewife has a tub of this by the side of her cooker; they are all slightly different depending on the region you live in, but this is one that I use over and over again. It has just a hint of herbs & spices, enhancing a dish rather than overpowering it. The French call this "Sel Fou" or Fool's Salt, which is a wonderful name for it I think! Please note, I have NOT added any chilli powder or Cayenne pepper in this mix - I realise that hot spices are popular in seasoning salts, but this is herbal rather than spiced! I use it to sprinkle over salads, add it to pasta, stews, soups, daubes, casseroles, pies, roast chicken & meat etc. It is also GREAT sprinkled onto hot Chips (French fries) & over the top of pizzas. I don't like to make huge quantities, due to the herbs losing their freshness and flavour - so, this makes about 125g (just over 5 ozs) of Fool's Salt; you can of course increase the quantities if you wish!

PROVENCAL SEASONING SALT



Provencal Seasoning Salt image

After ordering this from www.worldspice.com & absolutely loving the flavor, I used it sparingly to preserve my stash. Then my logic kicked in. It's an easy task to make my own. Now I use it liberally especially on popcorn!

Time 2m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/4 cup coarse salt (I use Kosher salt)
1/4 dried herbes de provence (your own blend or ready made)

Steps:

  • Add salt to a coffee grinder, herb mill or small food processor.
  • Process until the granules are of table salt size. ( Time will vary according to which type of appliance you're using. In my little Handy Chopper it takes less than 20 seconds.).
  • Pour in the herbes de provence and process until the pieces are small enough to pass through a salt shaker. Again, time will vary.
  • Store in a salt shaker or spice container with shaker top.
  • Voila! You've made your own special seasoning salt.
