Or maybe just a little sprinkle of smoked salt would be enough to give this flavour combo if you want to try it.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-67983635420094822992014-04-05T06:24:27.247+11:002014-04-05T06:24:27.247+11:00This month's WSC was full of raw recipes and w...This month's WSC was full of raw recipes and weird combinations and I must say this sounds like it fits both categories. but I'm not sure why I'm finding it so strange - sweet and salty is nothing new.
