Description
Origins and Characteristics
The green Sichuan peppercorns from Compagnie Française des Poivres et Épices is a refined spice with a unique aromatic profile. It’s not a true pepper, but the fruit of Zanthoxylum piperitum, harvested unripe to maintain freshness and fragrance. Its notes are reminiscent of lemongrass and white flowers, with a light and persistent tingling sensation.
Culinary Uses
This ingredient pairs perfectly with white meats such as chicken and turkey. It’s also ideal with fish and shellfish, as it enhances flavors without overpowering them. You can use it in marinades, raw sauces, or sprinkled on grilled vegetables. Each dish thus acquires a gourmet and creative touch.
How to Enhance It
To best release the aromas, toast the peppercorns for a few seconds in a pan. Then grind them with a mortar and pestle or pepper mill. This way, the essential oils release all their intensity. Store the peppercorns in an airtight jar, away from light and heat, to preserve their aroma and crunchiness for longer.
