creating an enchanted life... in a little cottage by the sea

a little green magic...


Yesterday I decided to make some of my easy, sour cream flatbreads...
it's a recipe that still exists only in my head, but one day I
do intend to write it down with proper measurements and all, because
they are so delicious, and make a wonderful 
light meal to serve with dips, cheese, olives and pickles!

But, much to my chagrin, I discovered that I was out of my favorite
magic green salt (so I call it!) - the jar in the fridge was almost empty,
 which will never do. So today I am going to stock up on lots of fresh 
coriander (cilantro) as well as other herbs, because there are
so many delicious variations on this theme - and even better, 
with Christmas just a few days away, they make a beautiful (and
simple!) Christmas gift, especially if you present them in a lovely
jar tied up with colorful ribbons.

I really enjoy using herbs and other green wonders, both in
my cooking and for special bath and body treats - so much so that I
actually wrote and self-published a small book recently,
entitled 'Heartmade Herbal', which includes ideas for natural
recipes and remedies. However, it doesn't include the Magic Green
Salt recipe, so I am sharing it here!

Just one word of warning - because this salt is fairly moist, you need
to store it in the fridge - in glass jars preferably.
The salt does act as a natural preservative, and it should last for a
few months - but if you notice the mixture has developed mold, or a
funny odour, please discard it.
