roast chicken with olives and potatoes ~

Chicken loves Sous Salt! The combination of the grey salt, spices and herbs that we use is absorbed and enhances anything you roast with it...but chicken...it's like a blank canvas waiting to be seasoned with a flavorful paint! Any of our Salts will work perfectly with this recipe, even the Sous Salt Sweet & Savory. This is a quick go to recipe that is better than the rotisserie chicken that's been sitting in the deli counter for 6 hours baking away what juices it might have had left. Don't get me wrong I love rotisserie chicken but unless you see them actually [...]

to die for green sauce for everything ~

Seriously this sauce is heavenly...straight from the crock or thinned down and used as a salad dressing. Drizzle it over spicy dishes to even out the heat or use it to finish grilled fish & meats. I made this Monday and have used it in different ways throughout the week. Unlike basil pesto it stays brilliantly green. It has a slightly sweet and salty taste with a balance of acidity from the lemon, lime juice and the cider vinegar. I used a local honey that was dark and rich which I think added a great depth to the citrus juices. The [...]

spicy lamb & lentils ~ salad or entree

Quick and savory dish that can be served either over basmati rice or spring greens for a dinner salad. I used our Sous Salt Fennel and Shallot but any of the salts would be terrific with the lamb and lentils. You could also substitute the lentils for cooked small white beans, farro, quinoa or chick peas. This recipe was from Bon Appetit so I tested it as it was presented morphing it with our salts. It would be terrific with a bit of curry powder as well. ingredients 4 SERVINGS 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ pound ground lamb 1 t Sous [...]

sous salt rice & grain medley ~

In an effort to incorporate new grains into our meals I've thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with Farro and Quinoa. Farro is similar to our American Barley. Quinoa is a wonderful nutty grain that has a delightful little pop to it when you eat it. I like to use the mixed quinoa to add some color to the dish. Basmati is my favorite rice. I love the smell of it when it's cooking. It's very aromatic and nutty. The orzo I add for my husband who is and always will be a pasta man! In truth, adding the orzo was the only way [...]

turkey burgers ~

In search of a light meal...I thought we would have turkey burgers. I have been making the same recipe for a few years now and love it but when I saw this recipe from Rick Martinez with chopped fresh spinach in it I added it to my recipe. The spinach kept the burger very moist and added a lovely visual to the dish. I used Sous Salt Sun Dried Tomato but you could use the Sous Salt Porcini Mushroom or the Sous Salt Grey with Herb or our Sous Salt Fennel & Shallot. It was so good in fact that we devoured [...]

lamb shanks ~

Lamb shanks fall into the comfort food, Sunday night dinner category in our home. They do take awhile to cook...not so tough to prepare though. I made these lamb shanks with 1 cup of the Sous Salt Roasted Tomato Soup recipe however you can easily substitute a cup of canned diced tomatoes. These lamb shanks are terrific made either in the slow cooker or in the oven. Just the cooking time will vary. It's so important to brown the ingredients prior to putting them in the slow cooker....remember brown adds the layers of flavors that make the meal memorable! ingredients 1 onion, diced 1 large [...]

chopped vegetable salad ~

We had this light and flavorful salad with veal shanks the other night. The wine and tomato braised meat can be very rich so the salad was a nice balance. It's very easy to prep and you can choose whichever vegetables you prefer. By chopping them all the same size you can easily poach them to the desired texture you like. I like mine with still a bit of a fresh bite, al dente so to speak. I just boiled them for a few minutes then put them in an ice bath and while still just a little warm added them to the vinaigrette. We used [...]
