Timut Pepper
is the Nepalese version of the wonderful Chinese peppercorn, Szechuan Pepper. Unfortunately, our version is NOT organic.
Szechuan pepper is often hard to come by here in our latitudes. That is why we have taken home this wonderful alternative, Timut Pepper, which is grown in the wild in Nepal. They are visually different because of their smaller, darker berries. The taste of Timut pepper is pleasantly intense and strongly aromatic, followed by a wonderful scent of lemons and limes.
Just a piece of advice from me: I love this pepper and often use it in my pepper grinder, just like I use whole black or white pepper. But this one is so deliciously strong and is clearly felt throughout the dishes.
But when I have to be picky, I pour the amount of oil on a pan that I intend to fry in. Then I throw 10-15 Szechuan peppercorns or Timut peppercorns into the now hot oil and roast them for a short time ( you can smell when the aromas are released) before I fry what needs to be fried. Ummm...
