Tomato Salt

[silas]

Hello folks

I may be wrong but it seems to me that it was here that I found a recipe quite some time ago for tomato salt made with tomato skins.

I have just made a couple of batches of chili sauce and have some tomato skin and would like to try it but I cant seem to find the thread.

Can anyone help??

Thanks to all

Silas

Look forward to an answer as don't know "tomato salt" or can find any references for it.

I thought I remembered seeing this also, but could not find it either. It seems like a mention was made of layering skins with the salt or something. Max mentions tomato salt in his blog on salt, so maybe he will jump in and explain.

What I have done in the past is dehydrate your tom skins or any other veg for that matter in a warm oven over night. Then place dried product into a coffee grinder or high powered blender with some kosher salt ....

I like to make porcini salt to rub on steaks before grilling...

Wow, Silas, it's been ages!! Can't help, but welcome back!!

fooddude, thanks for the tip. I got really curious about this and hit google. I found several sites, but none mentioned tomatoes. I did learn that most ingredients were dried in some way...citrus for example. Larger things were dried, then blitzed as you mention. I like the porcinin idea. I've got me a new weekend project. Thanks!

Guess I do need to get into the forums more often.

I've done something similar to make celery salt before. I'll just omit celery and insert tomato skins.

Toss tomato skins with kosher salt. let rest at room temp in bowl for 30 minutes to allow salt to work its magic on the tomato. Then pour and spread onto sheet pan and put in a low warm oven till dry. just pulse in spice grinder or robot coupe when completely dry.

I've done tomato salt and all the post above are correct just make sure you do keep that temp low, 200 degrees no higher if not it will burn. Try cilantro salt also which is a great addition to margaritas.
