Note
Optional Rosemary Salt: Using a high-speed blender like the Nama C2, blend 1 cup coarse sea salt with 3–4 sprigs fresh rosemary (leaves stripped, about 3–4 tablespoons). Pulse until the rosemary is finely chopped and evenly mixed into the salt. Spread the mixture on a baking tray and let it air-dry for 1–2 hours to remove excess moisture. Store in an airtight jar for up to 2 months.
