Sumatra Long Pepper

Long pepper not only has a unique shape, its flavour is also more complex and intense than the standard pepper. You taste not only the heat of the pepper, but also a slightly roasted touch, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Use the long pepper from Sumatra (Indonesia) in the same way as black pepper: whole or pulverise with a mortar. In Asian cuisine, this long pepper is very popular with lentil dishes and barbecue marinades. Its unique flavour also comes into its own with stews, asparagus and mushrooms.
