Using a pink Himalayan salt block is an innovative and flavourful way to braai meat. These blocks are naturally harvested from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan and are prized for their mineral-rich composition, which imparts a unique taste to food.
When used for braaing, the salt block acts as both a cooking surface and a seasoning agent, subtly infusing the meat with a savoury saltiness while locking in moisture. To use, heat the block slowly over a braai until it reaches the desired temperature. Once heated, it retains heat evenly, ensuring a consistent cooking experience.
The salt block is versatile and can be used for searing steaks, grilling vegetables, or even as a serving platter, adding a touch of gourmet flair to any meal. It’s also naturally anti-microbial, making it easy to clean and maintain.
For best results, allow the block to cool gradually after use, and clean it with a damp cloth. Avoid using detergents, as they can seep into the block and affect the taste of future dishes. With proper care, a pink Himalayan salt block can last for many braais, enhancing the flavour and presentation of your culinary creations.
