Ingredients
For the chilli salt
- 6 tbsp table salt
- 2 red thai chilli peppers
For the amuse bouche
- 1 mini watermelon cut into 1x2 1/2 inch thick slabs
- Chilli Salt
- black pepper
- 1 sprig of scallion chopped diagonally
Instructions
- Using a mortar and pestle, grind the chillies into the salt until the salt is slightly pink and there are no longer any large chunks of the chilli peppers.
- If you don't have a mortar and pestle, use a heavy-duty freezer bag instead. Put the salt and chilli in the bag and use a rolling pin to crush the chilli in the salt until its evenly distributed. You could also use the rolling pin directly on the salt and chillies on a hard surface like a cutting board, but then your rolling pin would have chilli oil on it and that might result in some spicy pie crust later on.
- Store chilli salt in an airtight container.
