Tanzanian Black Pepper - Grinder

Black pepper goes very easily with vegetables, white or red meats and fish . I always advise you to crush it before using it to preserve its spiciness. 

• Did you know that it is from the pericarp, the wrinkled coat that you will have the spiciness of the pepper, that is to say the piperine. 

This pepper will offer you an incredible scent and will take your taste buds on a journey into the world of spices. 

Here are eight recipes to use your black pepper from Tanzania:

1. Tuna carpaccio with black pepper from Tanzania : Arrange slices of fresh tuna on a plate. Before serving, crush the peppercorns or a few turns of the mill of your freshly ground black pepper from Tanzania. Its citrus notes and spiciness will take your taste buds on a journey.

2. Sautéed Chicken with Tanzanian Black Pepper : Brown pieces of chicken in a pan with olive oil. Then add garlic, onions, peppers and a pinch of freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper. Simmer until the chicken is cooked and tender.

3. Tomato salad with Tanzanian black pepper and fresh basil : Cut the tomatoes into slices and arrange them on a plate. Sprinkle with freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper and chopped fresh basil leaves. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil before serving.

4. Grilled Salmon with Tanzanian Black Pepper and Honey : Season salmon fillets with salt, freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper and honey. Grill them on the barbecue or in the oven until they are cooked to your liking. With its citrus notes you will be able to do without lemon. 

5. Pumpkin soup with black pepper from Tanzania : Brown pieces of pumpkin with onion and garlic in a casserole dish. Add vegetable stock and simmer until the pumpkin is tender. Season with freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper before serving. It's a very good pepper with tomato soup.

6. Roasted Potatoes with Tanzanian Black Pepper and Rosemary : Cut potatoes into quarters and roast in the oven with olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary and freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper until until they are golden and crispy.

7. Sautéed Shrimp with Tanzanian Black Pepper and Garlic : Saute peeled shrimp in a pan with olive oil and minced garlic. Season with freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper and serve with rice or sautéed vegetables. The pepper must be added at the end of cooking so as not to alter its flavor.

8. Vanilla ice cream with Tanzanian black pepper and caramel sauce : Make a homemade vanilla ice cream base or use store-bought vanilla ice cream. Before serving, add a little whipped cream then sprinkle freshly ground Tanzanian black pepper over the ice cream and accompany it with a homemade caramel sauce. Here, you need to dose your pepper well so that it does not distort your recipe.
