Ingredients
1-½cupcoarse sea salt
1cupfresh chilies I used Thai chilies, green stems removed, left whole. you can remove the seeds if you wish, but that means handling the cut chilies and that could be just too much work not to mention hard on your hands
Instructions
Add chilies to small bowl of food processor and pulse several times until very finely minced. You don't want a paste, so I wouldn't use a blender for this. Add the salt. Pulse several more times so that everything is a pretty orange-pinky-red colour. Store in an airtight container. You can use this right away, but storing for a week or so will distribute the flavour of the chillies more quickly.
Notes
Keep this salt in a jar close to the stove so you can sprinkle a little on savoury dishes just before serving. Chilli salt will last months away from heat and light.
