Pink peppercorn recipes

Pink peppercorn

Pink peppercorns are technically not really peppercorns at all - they come from a different plant - but don’t let that stop you adding a rosy hue and peppery touch to your supper.

Buyer's guide

Dried pink peppercorns can be found in some supermarkets and delicattessens. You can also buy them in brine.

Preparation

They have a delicate pepper flavour; just crush them in a pestle and mortar to get that peppery aroma going. Use them combined with white, black or green peppercorns as a seasoning for steak or fish, mixed into a salad dressing or even added to minced meat as a filling for burgers.
