Some of our Staff-Picked Favourites;
And my Personal favourite, Cambodian Kampot Red Pepper
About Kampot Pepper
Pepper grown in Kampot is protected by a geographical appellation (like Champagne or Jamón Iberico), and has been regarded as the finest pepper in the world.
This pepper was considered the World’s best, and over 8,000 tonnes were produced annually at the height of the French Indochinese era. However, only 11 farms were re-established after the destructive Khmer-rouge era, and only now is its fame being restored.
Each of our pepper varieties pepper have a different flavour profile. However, they all share a common robustness and complexity, found rarely in such spices.
The black is a strident and lingering pepper, famed in Parisian culinary circles for its application to seafood.
The red pepper is a rare variety, and presents a more herbal and nuanced flavour. This pepper is excellent for adding a lift to food in a similar manner to mild chillies. Chef Roellinger even suggests pairing red pepper with desserts, pointing to a caramel or honey aroma.
The white pepper has a holistic, complete flavour, with a natural affinity to sauces and braises. A natural complement to white meat, it adds great depth to any meal.
About Bhutanese Red Rice
This renowned light red japonica rice is grown only in the Himalayan mountain kingdom of Bhutan, fed by glacial waters. A strain known locally as ‘Dagozam’, it has the great benefit of cooking in the same time as white rice, whilst retaining the healthy characteristics of a whole grain rice. The texture is smooth, but with a gentle crunch.
Its flavor is complex, earthy and nutty. It has a rich russet colouring, which changes to a light pink, after cooking.
It is lighter than brown rice, suiting salad, or simply as a meal accompaniment. The medium-grain of the Japonica rice strain is a good staple rice for everyday cooking but with an extra layer of flavour. It also only takes the same time to cook as the equivalent amount of white rice, making it a practical and healthy alternative.
Thanks and Happy Birthday!
What can you cook the red rice with? Risottos?
