Chili Pepper Salt

Salt blended with ground chilli peppers. Each pinch reads as clean salt first and then a chilli warmth that arrives a beat later, so it seasons and spices in a single step.

It puts two kitchen staples in one jar, which is why it earns a place at the table as well as by the stove.

How to use it

Use it on grilled meats, seafood and vegetables, over fries and popcorn, and in marinades. It works as a finishing salt as much as a cooking one. Because the salt and chilli are balanced against each other, treat it as a replacement for the salt in a recipe rather than something added on top of it. Technique tip: add it at the end rather than early in a long braise. Ground chilli loses colour and turns dull brown under sustained heat, and the red flecks are half the point of a chilli salt.
