Eat Your Spice Rack


 
Oh Anne, that is a good one, ;) . I have so many recipes calling for them. A lot of them are for shrimp:love:
 
I made bacon a couple times with szechuan pepper. Real good.
Recipe is based on a Fuchsia Dunlop recipe. She got some great cookbooks to her name, but the best is a non-cook book "shark fin and sichuan pepper"
 
I'm starting off with something real easy.

Peppercorn and Coriander Salt

Pulse 1 TB. each Szechuan peppercorns and Coriander seeds in a mini food processor or spice grinder until coarsely ground. Transfer to a bowl; stir in 1 TB. flaky sea salt. Sprinkle on grilled steak.
