EIGHT PEPPERCORN BLEND

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, add the szechuan peppercorns and toast, stirring occastionally, about 2 - 4 minutes.
• Transfer the peppercorns to a measuring cup and cool.
• Combine rest of ingredients and grind the pepper mixture, working in small batches.
• Note My peppercorn shaker does not grind the black peppercorns down enough for my taste and I can end up with large chunks. Using a mini food processor, I will coarsely grind these first then add them to the rest of the ingredients and coarsely grind them again (keeping in mind, that your peppercorn grinder will make a finer grind).
