Ingredients

• 100 grams Sea salt
• 50 grams Black peppercorns
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 whole lemon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C).

Step 2

Strip the leaves from the rosemary and thyme sprigs, discarding the stems.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them.

Step 4

Spread the rosemary, thyme leaves, and garlic slices evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Grate the zest of one whole lemon over the herbs and garlic.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the mixture to dry for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the tray from the oven and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 8

In a spice grinder, food processor, or mortar and pestle, combine the dried herb mixture, sea salt, and black peppercorns.

Step 9

Pulse or grind the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a coarser blend, process briefly; for a finer texture, grind longer.

Step 10

Transfer the herb-infused salt and pepper blend to an airtight jar or container.

Step 11

Store in a cool, dry place and use as a seasoning for meats, vegetables, or any dish that could use an herby, citrusy kick.
