Green peppercorns are a staple of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. They can be used whole or chopped, much like capers, to add a new dimension of flavor to salmon, fried rice, eggs, salads, soups, charcuterie plates and more.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water

  • 5 teaspoons Frontier Co-op Sea Salt

  • 1 cup Frontier Co-op Green Peppercorns

  • 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Turmeric Root, cut and sifted

  • 5 cloves garlic

  • 2 Frontier Co-op Bay Leaves

  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about four lemons)

Directions

    1. In a medium saucepan, boil water and 4 teaspoons of sea salt. Remove from heat and add dried green peppercorns. Cover and soak peppercorns for 30 minutes.

    2. Drain liquid and reserve 1/2 cup of water. Place 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, garlic, bay leaves and drained peppercorns in a 16 oz. glass jar. Pour 1/2 cup reserved liquid soaking liquid into the jar and fill almost to the top.
