Herb Salt
Quick
Recipes
You can add dried herbs directly to anything, but infusing them into salts and sugars further extends their shelf life. Use the infusions throughout the year for cooking, grilling, and baking. The possibilities are endless.
Herb Powder
Easy
Recipes
Stuck with too many herbs? Don’t fret! This elemental dehydrating technique we learned from the team at San Francisco’s Bar Tartine will transform them into bold, easy-to-deploy flavor boosters you can use to upgrade any meal. Try using this dried herb powder on rice to give it new life, or whisking it into salad dressings or folding it into yogurt for a bright green tzatziki. You’ll never be tempted to buy packaged powders again.
Herb Salad with Pickled Red Onion and Preserved Lemon
Vegan
Recipes
You can pluck the herbs ahead of time and chill them wrapped in damp paper towels in airtight bags. Pair this salad with a Shawarma-Spiced Braised Leg of Lamb for a Levantine-inspired feast from the duo behind L.A.’s buzzy restaurant Animal.

Vegan
Recipes
A small batch of fridge pickles made with regular old carrot, onion, and fennel will bring out your inner homesteader.
Preserved Limes
Easy
Recipes
