CITRUS LEMON AND LIME SALT - RECIPE

Steps:

• Use a zester to zest the lemon and lime. Save the fruit for a later use.
• Use your hands to blend the salt and lemon and lime zest in a mixing bowl before dehydrating. The oils in your hand help mix things up.
• Spread the lemon-lime salt over a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate at 125 degrees F for about 6-8 hours, or until the zest is completely dried through. Alternatively, spread the lemon-lime salt over a baking sheet and dry in the oven at 125 degrees F for about 6-8 hours, or until the zest is completely dried through. If your oven doesn't go to that low of a temperature, crack the oven a bit to let in some air flow.
• Next, grind down the larger zest into the salt with a mortar and pestle. I used my molcajete. A spice grinder works as well, but try not to over process.
• Use at needed.

PORK RINDS WITH CHILE LIME SALT

Steps:

• Put the pork skin in a large pot and cover with water by 4 inches. Boil the skin for 2 hours.
• Strain the skin, return to the pot and cover with cold water. Strain again. Once cool enough to handle, stack the skin between kitchen towels and put in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
• Scrape any remaining fat off the skin using a spoon (or other utensil with a good scrapping edge). It's important to get as much fat off the skin a possible. Cut into rectangles approximately 2 inches by 1/2 inch. Dehydrate on the lowest temperature setting for 48 hours. Skin should look like brownish hard plastic.
• Heat oil to 375 degrees in your favorite deep-fryer or in a heavy pot. Fry the skin until puffed, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove the pork rinds to a paper-towel-lined bowl and season with Chile Lime Salt.
• Mix the salt with the lime juice and spread onto a baking tray. Put somewhere warm with good air circulation until dry. Once dry, mix with the Korean chile flakes, Cajun seasoning, cayenne and lime zest.
