Szechwan pepper

Szechwan pepper is not actually a pepper, but rather a berry from a prickly ash tree native to the Sichuan province in China. It has a spicy, earthy flavour with a citrus overtone, and produces a slight numbing effect when eaten. To maximise its flavour, dry-roast Szechwan pePper before grinding it.

Available from Thrupps, Main Ingredient and Sprigs, The Food Shop.
