This flavored salt is an essential garnish in our Scallops Crudo with Vanilla Salt, but it could work as a creative garnish on a variety of savory or sweet dishes. To see what we mean, try it in a champagne vinaigrette or atop some chocolate mousse.

This recipe was featured as part of our DIY Flavored Salts project.

Instructions

Place the salt and vanilla seeds in a small bowl and rub them between your fingers until they’re uniformly combined. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.

Handcrafted Chocolate Bonbons at Stick With Me Sweets

(01:45)

Video from Cities

At her NYC chocolate shop Stick With Me Sweets, Susanna Yoon (formerly of Per Se) makes edible miniature works of art. These colorful, marbleized, portable chocolate domes are packed with the flavors and textures of some of Susanna’s favorite desserts, which include a kalamansi meringue pie, and the vero, a silver blue bonbon that houses a mix of sea salt caramel and crunchy pecan bits. In the words of the chef, handcrafted chocolate is the sweetest way to tell somebody “stick with me”.
