    Herbed Salt 3 Ways

    Spreads, Condiments, Sauces

    Today we bring you these insanely adorable and tasty herbed salt! They’re so easy to prepare, and help to add flavor to your dishes. I’ll be the first to admit that I have a weakness for salt. I enjoy my dishes well-seasoned and thought, why not incorporate these herbs and spices into a salt mix?

    That way I get the best of both worlds. The results are a Spicy Turmeric Salt, Garlicky Sage Salt, and Peppery Rosemary Salt. Yes, they’re as good as they sound. I’ve seen spiced salt mixes at the store, but they’re usually loaded with additives, anti-caking agents, and other random ingredients. 

    Many cultures that include a variety of herbs and spices in their diets have seen powerful health benefits. Turmeric is a staple in South Asian dishes for centuries. It has been shown to reduce inflammation in a number of chronic disease and may aid in digestive disorders. It’s commonly used for teas, tonics, skin creams, and more. Similarly, herbs like rosemary, parsley, and sage, all provide a wide range of medicinal properties.

    To get started with our recipe for these herbed salts, you’ll want to leave your fresh herbs out in the sun for one day, so they can dry out. These would be the sage, parsley, and rosemary. If you don’t have access to direct sunlight somewhere outside, you can place the herbs by a window that does get direct sunlight. Alternatively, you can skip this step by using dried herbs from the market. 

    Next, add the ingredients for the particular salt blend you’re making into a completely dry blender. Blend until everything is mixed well together, and you have uniform consistency and color. Store your salt in a small glass container, and use it in your favorite dishes! These also make for the cutest gifts!

    Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are using @cabotcheese seriously sharp cheddar to make these bolitas de yuca for your superbowl turn up! A mouthwatering Dominican appetizer made with my favorite root vegetable, these bolitas feed a crowd and pair perfectly with Cabot cheddar, which is naturally aged and 100% lactose free. See below for the full recipe! #cabotcreamery 

Ingredients 
🧀 1 pound yuca, peeled and chopped into small chunks 
Salt
🧀1 tablespoon butter 
🧀1/2 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped 
🧀1/4 teaspoon of garlic
🧀1/4 teaspoon of paprika 
🧀4 ounces of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cut into small 1/2” chunks 

Directions:
🧀Preheat the oven to 450F.
🧀Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil and add the yuca. Boil for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain the yuca, remove all of the fibrous stems and add to a medium sized bowl. 
🧀Mash the yuca well with butter, jalapeño and spices until completely smooth. Adjust for salt and set aside until cooled. 
🧀Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the yuca mix, put the cheddar cheese in the center and roll it up into a ball. Repeat for the remaining yuca and cheese. 
🧀Add the yuca balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet OR air fryer and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes (or air fry for 10-12 minutes) until crispy and browned on the outside. Enjoy on their own or with your favorite sauce! 

TIPS: 
👉🏽If the balls are extra sticky, wash and dry your hands throughout the rolling process - this will help. 
👉🏽If your yuca mash is bulky, add a little bit of water while mashing to make it smoother.
    Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people w Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people when we see them versus commenting on their bodies. It’s just not it. Over the holidays, I had to check several family members about this. For many including myself, it’s awkward, uncomfortable and even if well-intentioned, it can be triggering for people. And you just never know what’s going on (maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re on medication, maybe they’re pregnant and don’t want you in their business)

What are some other ones you’ve been told? The latest on my roster has been “damn that ass is fat” 🤣 (can’t make this up)
