Spice Things Up

Salt and Red Pepper Flakes

Let me introduce you to a match made in food heaven: kosher salt and red pepper flakes.

My friends Kari and Jesse introduced us to this delightful condiment combo at a make-your-own-pizza party last spring, and I’ve had a dish of the two on my counter ever since. It is a ridiculously simple way to add a little zip to pretty much any savory recipe.

We take a pinch from the middle of the dish and sprinkle the salt and pepper flakes on everything from teriyaki take-out to oven-roasted asparagus. Try it! You’ll see that a little salt and spice makes everything nice.

    Those are two my favorites. What a great way to wake up the palate to have them sitting ready to go in any soup. Yum.~~Dee

    Love the color in this shot. Pepper flakes are too hot for me, but they look so nice.

    That combo sounds great for spicing up legumes – particularly lentils, the only dried beans I actually enjoy eating. Melanthia, you don’t have to add a large quantity of pepper flakes to enjoy their oomph – just one or two flakes can add the necessary zest. Tremendous idea, Kari and Jesse. Thanks for sharing, Willi.
