Homemade Plain Garlic Salt & All-Purpose Seasoning

Gather the ingredients for this seasoning which are just two and you are ready to go.  

This recipe is homemade, cheap and so naturally pure which is absolutely preservatives free of additives, no flavoring enhancers etc.

Measurement 200 Ml Cup

Ingredients

20 Big Cloves Or Big Pod Garlic or 
1 Cup Sea Salt 

Method

To peel the garlic (I just microwave it for 30 seconds to a minute and the peels fall right off).

Add the  sea salt and  garlic cloves to a small spice grinder and process until the garlic is finely minced and the consistency is like moist sand--approx. 30 seconds of processing.

Spread the salt/garlic mixture on a large baking sheet that's been lined with parchment paper or silicone / silpat mat . (use the parchment paper or silicone / silpat mat or else it will stick to the baking pan and damage it)

Bake it at 120°C for an hour or more until it's dry and crisp. It should break off in pieces. It shoudn't brown; the low oven temperature dries it out and also cooks it without browning it. Cool this completely. When cooled, take is out and again just pulse it it in a spice grinder your homemade plain Garlic Salt & All Purpose Seasoning is ready to use. It so easy, If you check out many of my recipes I have used this. You have to just be careful while adding salt to the dish.

I use this on fried eggs they taste amazing. Use this all purpose seasoning where ever garlic and salt is required and everything else that needs a savory flavor boost, it gives a amazing taste to the dish. Stays at room temperature to 6 to 8 months. In the refrigerator for years, the container should be air tight.
