Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 organic lemons
2 tablespoons multi-colored peppercorns
¼ teaspoon dehydrated minced garlic
¼ teaspoon dehydrated onion flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash and dry the lemons. Peel away the zest from both lemons using a vegetable peeler, making sure not to get any of the pith. Spread out peels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the peels have curled up and dried, about 30 minutes. Turn off oven and allow lemon peels to cool inside turned off oven, propping the door open with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape, about 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
  • Combine dried lemon peels and peppercorns in a food processor fitted with a blade. Blend until coarse. Add dehydrated garlic and onion. Blend until fine and thoroughly combined.
  • Remove and allow to rest for a few hours before using so flavors can meld.

SWEET BAY-PEPPERCORN SHRUB



Sweet Bay-Peppercorn Shrub image

This citrus-based shrub, in which lemon and grapefruit peels are muddled with sugar, black peppercorns, thyme, cloves and bay leaves before being combined with citrus juice, acts as a lightly spiced base for any drink - whether you're adding alcohol or not. Use it in a No-ABV French 75 or simply pour an ounce or so over ice and top with sparkling water or tonic. Or try it in a low-A.B.V. French 75, or in lieu of simple syrup in a classic French 75.

Time 6h15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium lemons, peeled and fruit reserved
1 small grapefruit, peeled and fruit reserved
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns, crushed
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Place the citrus peels in a medium bowl or a large jar. Add the sugar, peppercorns, salt, thyme, cloves and bay leaves.
  • Use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to muddle the mixture together, working the sugar mixture into the peels until the peels begin to express their oils and start to turn slightly translucent. Set aside at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight. Much of the sugar should be dissolved, and the citrus peels will be mostly translucent.
  • Juice the reserved lemons and grapefruit. (You should have about 1¼ cups juice.) Add the juice to the mixture and stir (or cover and shake the jar) until the sugar and salt dissolve. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on the solids and transfer to an airtight container. The shrub can be stored, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 month.

Categories     Australian

Time 50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 -2 tablespoon lemon zest, about 3 lemons
2 -3 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat toaster oven to lowest setting.
  • In a large bowl, combine lemon zest and black pepper. Cover metal pan fitted for toaster oven with foil and spread mixture evenly in pan. Allow to bake low and slow until zest is completely dried. Mine took about 26-30 minutes.
  • Transfer lemon-pepper mixture to a bowl. Using the back of a spoon (or spice grinder if you have one), crush mixture until desired texture is achieved. Mix in salt, 1 tsp at a time. Continue to add salt until you have the right balance to fit your taste.
  • Notes.
  • Depending on size of lemons, you may need more lemons.
  • If you want more of a lemon taste, reduce pepper or add more lemon zest.
  • Seasoning may be kept in an air tight container for a few months.

Tips:

  • When selecting grapefruits, look for fruits that feel heavy for their size and have smooth, blemish-free skin.
  • To remove the zest from citrus fruits, use a Microplane zester or a vegetable peeler to carefully remove the outermost layer of the peel, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
  • Use freshly ground black peppercorns for the best flavor and aroma. Toasting the peppercorns before grinding will enhance their flavor even more.
  • Store the citrus-peppercorn mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use the citrus-peppercorn mix to flavor a variety of dishes, including chicken, fish, shrimp, pork, vegetables, and salads.

Conclusion:

The citrus-peppercorn mix is a versatile and flavorful seasoning that can be used to add a bright, peppery flavor to a variety of dishes.
