Product Description
From the time that Nirmala was a child, growing up in a village in Guyana, South America, she has been focused on the blending and mingling of different flavors.The fragrant spices of her Indian roots fuse with the bold flavors of the West Indies and South America, now all collide with the dozens of ethnicities she has adopted in the melting pot of New York City. To feed her insatiable appetite for exotic ingredients, Nirmala has spent the past ten years traveling to every ethnic corner of the world seeking out spice plantations, locals farms, markets and food stalls. From the prickly ash tree, Sichuan peppercorns are dried, rust-colored berries with hair-thin stems and open ends. The open, rough skins reveal a brittle black seed, but the true spice is the empty husk. The husks are mildly peppery and earthy with hints of citrus peel and floral scents. This peppercorn is the main ingredient of Chinese five-spice blend. For best results, slightly dry roast for two minutes, crush and use on green beans, stir-fried vegetables and roasted meats. Great on roast duck breast and wild game.
