Forest resources-making wild garlic and chicken of the woods salt

The other day I went foraging for wild garlic and chicken of the woods, so I figured I should preserve them with salt. Actually having stuff like that in the larder often is the difference between having a halfway decent meal and nothing at all, so it is not just a little cottagecore hobby for me, but a necessity.  

I just covered the wild garlic with salt and mixed until oozy, and dried it at 50°C for two hours (until you could easily crush it)..

Also got myself some chicken of the woods.  Look here for a Video: 

I finely cut up the mushroom and diced it as finely as would go.  

I covered with turmeric, allspice, paprica, coriander, cayenne, cumin, salt and pepper.

Dried it at 50°Celsius for two hours. 

Covered with salt. I actually vacuumized the glasses, too, just to be sure. If you use it, take good care to boil it into the stew, curry or soup.  It is actually delicious and has a rich Umami flavour and literally tastes like chicken.  Enjoy!😉
