From the mountains of the Szechuan province in China, we’re bringing you the szechuan pepper (which is actually a berry, Chef!). Despite its intimidating name, it’s not a spicy flavour but rather citrusy. This exotic spice will elevate butter-basted chicken breast, sided with a walnut & feta salad and oven-roasted veggie medley.
