I have a feeling many of you will get excited about this week's giveaway - our lovely Dark Pink Himalayan Salt Plates - beautifully custom cut exclusively for Salt Traders.
These plates are so fun - they are not only beautiful to look at, but there are so many things one can do with them! The plates can be used as appetizer dishes for moist food (such as sushi or cheese), as the plate imparts a mild salty and mineral flavor unique to Himalayan salt. The Pink Himalayan Salt Plates can also be preheated in a 400-500 degree oven, and then used to sear seafood or thin, quick cooking meat. Or, preheat plate on an outdoor grill for a twist on regular grilling—perfect for both sweet and savory dishes.
This one will excite you for sure (especially with summer in the not too impossible future!) - freeze the plate for 2 hours, and then top with scoops of ice cream or sorbet! Try with caramel ice cream, you won't be dissapointed.
They are easy to clean and care for (click here for instructions), and will instantly add pizzazz to any meal or cocktail party.

I think I would go the "hot" route & grill some gulf shrimp served up in lettuce wraps with a Serrano mint sauce!

That is so cool! I'd sear some white fish and serve with a Spicy Cilantro Cream Sauce, yum!

I have already "liked" you on facebook, but I don't know yet how to twit... er... tweet? Anyway, I would use these plates for some of my blog photos, serve lox on them, and in general adore them.

I would make some thick, amazing guacamole and pile it on the plate.

What a unique gift! Decisions decisions - I'm liking the idea of dulce de leche ice cream but I also like Katie's idea of some guac along w/veggies to dunk, oh wait, the seafood/shrimp suggestion is also intriguing.

I would make a crepe and fill it with cheese, sliced mushrooms and onions.

Why not get more than one and do it all? First I would grill some freshly caught Atlantic cod and serve it with grilled veggies, then I would make chocolate-caramel sorbet.
Posted by: Casey | March 16, 2011 at 07:34 PM
I would gaze at it lovingly!
Posted by: Rachael | March 17, 2011 at 01:35 PM
I just liked you on Facebook!
Posted by: Rachael | March 17, 2011 at 01:41 PM
I would definitely make something with dark chocolate, perhaps some sort of flourless torte. Dark choco and salt? Divine!

Just tweeted a shout out too! Although it was done a little begrudgingly since secretly I don't want anyone else to enter and bring down my chances!

Sashimi comes to mind on a chilled plate, or heat it and cook the fish.
Posted by: Cathy | March 18, 2011 at 02:40 AM
I'd like to take some thinly sliced Wagyu beef (rib eye) and "grill" it!
Posted by: Andrea F. | March 18, 2011 at 04:21 PM
I would lick it to see what it tasted like.
Posted by: Ed | March 18, 2011 at 05:49 PM
I'd display it on a plate stand until
I could make up my mind on what to serve from it...it's a beautiful piece of natural art even if one didn't have an idea for preparing foods on it....although my mind is filled with scrumptuous ideas!
Posted by: Gail Miller | March 18, 2011 at 09:01 PM
This is so intriguing! I think I would serve either a caramelized onion cilantro quesadilla on it, grill skirt steak and tilapia on it, or serve espresso sorbet with a drizzle of Creme anglaise on this gorgeous plate!
Posted by: Kara | March 19, 2011 at 09:04 AM
I also love you on Facebook and tell everyone about you!
Posted by: Kara | March 19, 2011 at 09:06 AM
A big pile of sashimi would be great. I have also heated a salt plate and cooked thin slices of meat. Or chill it at put pats of butter.
