Ingredients: Green Peppercorns
Uses: Milder, fresher, and slightly more fruity than black pepper, Green Peppercorns offer a delicate yet vibrant spice that enhances a variety of dishes. Their subtle heat makes them perfect for recipes where you want a gentler peppery note.
Try it:
• Crushed over a filet mignon for a refined, peppery crust.
• Stirred into creamy sauces for meats, especially steak or chicken.
• Sprinkled over seafood dishes like scallops or white fish.
• Blended into butter or aioli for a flavorful spread.
• Added to salads or vinaigrettes for a light, peppery kick.
• Used in pickling brines for a subtle spice.
Green peppercorns are perfect for when you want the essence of black pepper but with a brighter, fresher twist—especially delicious with delicate proteins and creamy sauces.
Something to look for at your specialty food stores (we do not carry) are Pickled Green Peppercorns! They are unripe pepper berries that are preserved in brine or vinegar to maintain their fresh, vibrant flavor and soft texture. Compared to dried green peppercorns, the pickled variety has a milder, less intense heat and a bright, tangy, slightly fruity taste with a subtle briny finish.
