I bought bitter orange peel at a local beer supply store and what
started off as following a simple recipe is turning into my own spice
mix.

Citrus Salt

I found dried bitter orange peels at a local beer supply store.

Begin by grinding bitter orange peel to a powder in your coffee
grinder/spice-grinder (I'll figure out how much dried rind to start
with later, but I'm thinking ¼ cup)


Begin with 2T orange rind powder

Add
1T whole peppercorns and grind them to small chunks

Add
2 t dried onion flakes ~ grind until fine

Add
1 t granulated garlic
1t kosher salt

Blend - about 5 seconds.

Go ahead and taste the mixture as you make it, but please don't add
any sugar! Wait until the end to decide if you really need it or not.
I thought it was totally unnecessary when tasted the final product,.

I'm going to use the kitchen sink approach and see where I think it
works best. Chicken will be first. I'm not even sure at this point
if I should use it as a regular seasoning before cooking or as a
finishing salt.

Definitely season before cooking. Gives the juices time to melt the
blend and flavor it more evenly.

I cooked pork chops tonight and seasoned them with it before cooking.
I didn't tell hubby I was using that blend, so thought I was using
what I usually do and had no clue. He couldn't stop telling me how
good it was! Citrus was a background flavor, not something you could
name. So glad it worked!

I have bought ground orange peel at the Bulk Barn. It ain't cheap, but
is is all pre-ground.
