Roasted Szechwan Pepper-Salt
- add review
- #27898
This spicy salt is traditionally used as a dipping salt but can also be used in any recipe where you want a little "bite" to it. Szechwan peppercorns can usually be found in grocery stores that have a large spice section or a well-stocked Asian food section.

ingredients
1/4 cup Szechwan brown peppercorns
1/2 cup coarse kosher salt*
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
directions
Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the salt and peppercorns and stir until the salt turns off-white and the pepper is fragrant. Do not let it scorch (it will smoke a little and that's ok).
Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Place in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until it's powdered. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and store in an airtight container.
cook's notes
* Do not substitute table salt or sea salt for the kosher salt.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
