hootenanny Don't have Ruth Prettys recipe but have one from Annabel Langbein called Chilli Line salt.
1 large fresh red chilli
1/2 cup flaky sea salt
finely grated zest of 2 limes
Remove seeds from chilli and slice flesh into tiny pieces.Mix with the sea salt and lime zest in a mortar and pestle or food processor and pound or blitz to form a fine crumb.If you want to store the salt for later use, dry it out in the oven at 150C for 30 minutes. This salt adds zing to fish, chicken, beef or vegetable dishes. Great over pan fried steak, or over baked potatoes.
