Hi

I just got a bag of schezuan peppercorns and have no idea what to do with it. Any good recipes out there?

Thankyou!
 
crush some up with Fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, star anise.
you`ve just made Chinese 5-Spice ;)

it`s great as a marinade/rub for Pork.

I've done this and it's wonderful. I toasted the peppercorns a little before grinding, gave it a sort of smokey note.
 
I have a habit of buying a lot of herbs and spics that I won't necessarily use too often. Sichuan peppers are one of those. This link should help :)

Thanks!
 
Grind them or crush them and sprinkle on fish, then pan saute the fish in a mixture of butter and olive oil. Also good crusted on pork chops grilled over charcoal.
