Warm water works well, but wine, broth, or any other liquid can just as easily be used.

Dried green peppercorns are the unripe berries of the Piper nigrum. The plant that produces this fresher tasting pepper belongs to the piperaceae plant family.  

 

Peppercorns come from a woody evergreen vine that can grow up to 11 yards in height and has dark- green, broad, somewhat oval shaped leaves. Aerial roots help it cling to, and climb trees. 

Peppercorn plant leaf with young peppercornsPeppercorn plants have small white flowers that bloom in clusters of up to 150 florets and hang down a spike. These flowers then ripen into the little berries that we know as peppercorns. 

 

It takes several years for a young plant to flower and begin to produce fruit (the green peppercorns). Since peppercorn plants prefer a hot, humid, tropical environment, they are mostly produced in India, but also Indonesia, and Brazil.

 Three different kinds of peppercorns are produced by Piper nigrum: Black, white, and green.

 

Green Peppercorn Recipes:

 

-Combing green peppercorns, brandy, stock, and cream can make a simple green peppercorn sauce.

 

Green Peppercorn Sauce

1 1/2 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon crushed green peppercorns

1 teaspoon parsley, chopped

2 ounces brandy or white wine

Melt 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in sauce pan (or use it to deglaze a pan), add remaining ingredients, and bring to boil being careful not ignite the brandy.

Serve warm.

 

Mustard Green Peppercorn Sauce

 "This version of a classic French sauce goes well with beef tenderloin, pork loin, sautéed chicken breast, tuna and swordfish steaks.

 

3 shallots, minced

2 teaspoons butter

1/3 cup dry white wine

1 tablespoon green peppercorns (re-hydrate dried green peppercorns in a small amount of warm water for one hour prior to use)

½ cup whipping cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

Cook the shallots in the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, until they are soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; add the wine and peppercorns (drained). Cook until mixture reduces by half, about five minutes.

Stir in the cream and mustard; boil until the mixture reduces slightly, just enough to coat a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season with salt.”

French green peppercorn sauce guideline:

In the same pan as the meat was cooked, fry in olive oil or butter, shallots and finely chopped garlic.
When they have browned, deglaze the pan with white wine and simmer.
