Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 0.5 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Hull the strawberries (remove their green tops) and, depending on their size, either leave them whole or slice them in halves or quarters.
Using a mortar and pestle or a pepper grinder, coarsely crush the black peppercorns. The goal is to have small bits rather than a fine powder.
Place the strawberries in a serving bowl or platter, then sprinkle the cracked black pepper evenly over them.
Drizzle the honey over the strawberries for a touch of sweetness and to balance the pepper's heat.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and refreshing aroma. Optionally, finely chop the mint and sprinkle it over the top if you prefer a more distributed flavor.
Serve immediately as a light dessert, an appetizer, or a refreshing snack. Enjoy!
