Virgin-Islands Spiced Salt

This is from "Herbs and Spices the Cook's Reference" by Jill Norman. Use to rub over food before grilling or roasting - a healthier version might use less of the salt and more of the other ingredients.....

• 3 tablespoons sea salt
• 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
• 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 2 sprigs fresh parsley

Grind all the ingredients in a mortar or food processor until well mixed.

Store in the refrigerator.
