MOUNTAIN PEPPER LEAF

www.outbackchef.com.au

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, so if you're after a simple idea to try some bushtucker here's an idea.

Mountain Pepper is a shrub that grows in the wet areas of SE Australia. The pepperleaf is dried and grown 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.
