Chipotle Sea Salt Recipe
Description
To make Chipotle Sea Salt, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are blended to a smooth paste, then mixed with coarse sea salt until evenly combined. The mixture is spread thinly on parchment paper and baked at a low temperature to evaporate moisture and dry the salt mixture. Once cooled, any large clumps are broken apart to yield a flaky, flavored salt.
The result is a smoky, spicy salt seasoning that can be used to add complex heat and flavor to meats, vegetables, or snacks. The coarse texture of the sea salt carries the smoky chipotle flavor effectively without overpowering other flavors.
The leftover chipotle paste not used in the salt can be refrigerated for further use in other recipes. The dried chipotle salt will keep indefinitely stored in a cool, dry place.
Ingredients
- 1 jar chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- ½ cup sea salt coarse
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Empty the jar of chipotle peppers into your blender and blend on high until smooth. Measure out ¼ cup of this chipotle paste then save the rest for another recipe.
- Mix the salt and chipotle paste in a small bowl until well combined. Spread it out evenly on a small, parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the chipotle-covered salt is dry. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the salt occasionally until it is cool.
- Once it is cool enough to handle, use your fingers to break apart any large chunks. The salt will keep indefinitely stored in a cool, dry place.
Notes
- Store any leftover chipotle paste in a glass jar in the refrigerator for long-term use in other recipes.
- The dried chipotle sea salt keeps indefinitely if stored in a cool, dry place.
