Smoked Serrano Sea Salt: When we think of Serrano chilies most of us picture the bright green and orange peppers available fresh at your local gourmet market. The Serrano we use is different; it is left on the vine to mature until it turns scarlet red. It is then picked and slowly smoked until the flavors blossom. Smoked Serrano chilies have a spicy, lingering flavor with subtle notes of berry. Mixed with sea salt it can be used to make authentic spicy sauces. Smoked Serrano Salt pairs well with sweet fruits such as mango or pineapple for a non-traditional salsa.
Fusion Sea Salts are the result of our search to combine sea salts with pure natural flavor. When we first thought of infused flavored salt blends, we wanted to fuse natural ingredients together in a way that hadn't been done before. We imagined putting fresh ingredients inside the sea salt without compromising our signature purity. After a long-developed proprietary process, the result is Artisan Salt Company's Fusion Flavored Sea Salt. This is the new generation of gourmet seasoning.
Make Your Own Smoked Serrano Salsa!
2 large tomatoes
1 tablespoon Chipotle Texas Red Serrano Powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked serrano sea salt
Methods/steps - Grill the tomatoes and chiles by placing them 3 to 6 inches above hot coals. Turn them often until they are soft and the skins are charred. Place them in a blender along with the Red Serrano Powder. Puree for about 30 seconds. Strain the salsa and add the smoked serrano sea salt, mixing well.
Additional Tips - Of course, there has to be an exception to the rule that salsas are uncooked and sauces cooked. Here's one in between, a simple but tasty salsa that's served in south Texas norteņo restaurants as a dip for chips. The texture is smooth and the sauce is smoky and flecked with tiny bits of the charred tomato skins, which add an interesting taste.
