Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons Dried lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your dried lime zest. If you’re using fresh lime zest, spread it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and air-dry it overnight or place it in a 200°F (93°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until fully dried. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
2. Toast the black peppercorns in a small dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Be sure to stir or shake the pan frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, crush the toasted black peppercorns to your desired coarseness. A medium grind works well, but adjust to your preference.
4. Once the peppercorns are ground, transfer them to a small mixing bowl.
5. Add the dried lime zest, kosher salt, granulated garlic, cayenne pepper, and ground coriander to the bowl with the ground pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
6. Transfer the lime pepper seasoning to an airtight jar or container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
7. Use this seasoning as a delicious rub, sprinkle, or finishing touch for your favorite dishes!
