MOUNTAIN PEPPER LEAF



Here's a simple bush food idea to try..........

I had a customer tell me the other day he had tried Outback Chef's mountain pepper leaf on a mash of sweet potato and it was fantastic.

Mountain Pepper is a shrub that grows in the wet areas of SE Australia. The pepper leaf is dried and can be used in the same way as any other pepper would be used. The pepper berries from this plant can be added to a pepper mill and again used in the same way as you'd grind the black pepper. It's really hot and also has a slight eucalyptus flavour which adds to the enjoyment.

Since receiving the Mountain Pepper I've used it on many occasions when cooking. I like its distinctive smell and taste. Different from the average pepper. You could say it's a kind of secret ingredient. I'm happy with it!
