"VanillaSeaSalt" news and stories

In May, I blogged about my discovery of Halen Mon Sea Salt with Taha Vanilla. It was great on fish, but I haven't used it much since. It's been taunting me from my spice drawer for a while, until I realized...

I had exactly one ear of corn sitting in my fridge. (Only one, because I HATE the struggle to de-corn my teeth after.) I threw it into a pot of boiling, sugared* water while I grabbed the mortar and pestle to grind some of the Halen Mon with some regular sea salt into a nice powder. When the corn was done, I pulled it out, rubbed a small bit of butter on the kernels, and then sprinkled the cob with the salt.

Sweet corn with salt that has a hint of vanilla is so very, very good. It's the perfect side dish for a summer meal, and a great, quick snack on a warm day.

*Have no fear.. It was actually sugared!
