Garlic Salt

I don't like to eat iodized table salt, so I needed a recipe for this common gem. Because I'm in the "everything-is-better-with-garlic" camp, this is an easy way to add a hint of garlic flavour along with salt.

1 cup sea salt
¼ cup cloves garlic, peeled (1-1½ garlic heads)

Preheat oven to 180°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor, combine the salt and garlic. Process until the garlic is finely minced and the consistency is like moist sand, approximately 20 seconds. Pour salt/garlic mixture onto lined baking sheet; spread out evenly. Bake for approximately 1 hour until it's dry and crisp - it should break off in pieces. You don't want it to brown; this low oven temperature dries it out and cooks it slightly without browning it.

Return to food processor and pulse until the consistency of cornmeal.

Store in airtight container.
