Long Peppers?

Does anyone have any good recipes that call for Long Peppers?

I was at an event a Pinch this weekend and ended up munching on a lot of them trying to come up for ideas of how to use them. They're similar to black pepper, but with an earthy woodiness. I really liked the flavor, and have some ideas, but I'm trying to find traditional uses of it to help guide me.

I bought a small package of long pepper in Colcatta, India, and put them in a table grinder. I use them just like regular black peppercorns.

I realize this doesn't answer your question, but my guess is that you could use substitute them for black pepper in any recipe...or, if you want a recipe that foregrounds their flavor, maybe consult an Indian cookbook.

Hi,

I remember Erik M was in search of these for making a curry powder. I think he had someone bring them in from Asia. I recall he searched Devon Ave, Thai Grocery and other likely regional places. Perhaps in the last eight years, access to this has improved.

It wouldn't hurt to contact Spice House, though I might suggest waiting for after the holidays, if you are not in a rush.

Regards,
