Ingredients for Mediterranean salt

Dried orange peel

The other ingredients for these Mediterranean seasoning salts are all very probably in your store cupboard already and if not are easy to find in the shops.

You will need sea salt crystals, dried sage, fennel seeds, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, garlic granules, dried crushed chilli flakes and black peppercorns.

Other requirements are a large bowl to mix everything in and small sterilised jars to pack your Mediterranean seasoning salts in.

How to make Mediterranean seasoning salt

First, dry the orange peel –  All you need to do is peel off a strip of orange peel (unwaxed orange please or just scrub a normal orange in hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry) avoiding as much of the bitter white pith as possible. 

Chop the peel finely and set on some kitchen roll in a warm place (above a radiator, airing cupboard etc) overnight to dry completely.

Now mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl then scoop into sterilised jars and lebel.

How long will these seasoning salts keep?

These Mediterranean salts will keep for up to a year in a cool dry place.

How to use Mediterranean seasoning salt

You can use these salts in salad dressings or just as a normal salt seasoning
