Poor Man's Truffle Salt

Directions

1. Grind dried mushrooms in a food processor, spice/coffee grinder, or in a mortar and pestle until the mushrooms resemble the size of sea salt granules.
2. Mix in salt. If desired, add a few drops of truffle oil and mix.
3. Keep in an air tight container in a cool dry place. The longer that the salt sits, the more the mushrooms will infuse it.
4. Notes: Any other dried mushrooms can be used in this recipe. Shiitakes provide a subtle taste, whereas morels or actual truffles offer more pungency. I added a bit of truffle oil to my salt to boost the flavor.
