Quelle attention aux détails ! Toujours ce souci, souvent vain, de retrouver le goût originel des ingrédients. Les restrictions sur le commerce agro-alimentaire depuis la Chine sont fortes. Si tu arrives à faire venir ces petites graines, ton retour serait très apprécié. Pour les épices je me tourne maintenant vers celles d'Olivier Roellinger, bien que les prix puissent être quelque peu dissuasifs :

Au Japon, elles prennent le nom de Sansho

Mais celui-ci vendu dans la même épicerie est pourtant différent.

Il existe plusieurs variétés utilisées en cuisine avec des gouts différents, ce n'est pas simplement le même poivre a un stade de maturation plus avancé, une bonne source d'information: Sichuan pepper and others
le vert est plus citronné et anesthésiant d’après ce que j'ai lu

Epic Spices
Sansho Japanese Pepper is harvested from the Japanese prickly ash (Zanthoxylum piperitum) which is closely related to Sichuan pepper but with more pronounced citrus flavors. There is a common misconception that Sansho Japanese Pepper and Sichuan pepper are the same thing and therefore interchangeable, but that is simply untrue. Other than the difference in flavor there is an obvious visual difference with the best sansho being distinctly green in color.
The flavor of high quality true sansho is decidedly citrusy with the first detectable flavors being that of yuzu and grapefruit followed by a mild cooling sensation that gives way to an effervescent, electric sensation which stimulates the taste buds and salivary glands.
Traditionally used in Japanese cuisine as a condiment for unagi (grilled eel), sansho is also one of the components of an authentic shichimi togarashi, or Japanese seven spice.
Our sansho is the highest grade from the first harvest in Kochi prefecture, Japan

Quantitative Analysis of Sanshool Compounds in Japanese Pepper (Xanthoxylum piperitum DC.) and Their Pungent Characteristics
Etsuko SUGAI, Yasujiro MORIMITSU, and Kikue KUBOTA
Japanese pepper (Xanthoxylum piperitum DC.) is widely utilized in Japan as a spice for its pleasant flavor and delectable pungency. Various parts of this plant,
e.g., young leaves, flowers, and immature and mature fruits, are used in a wide range of Japanese cuisine.
Fresh young leaves are called ‘‘kinome’’ in Japanese, and are used as topping for dishes and in sauces after being macerated and mixed with miso (soy bean paste). Fresh
green fruits harvested unripe around May are made into ‘‘misansho’’ after being boiled down and seasoned with salt. Misansho is also cooked with fish to suppress its
unpleasant odor and to impart a more pleasant taste.
The strong stimulus of sanshool in the fruits of Japanese pepper gradually decreased, to be replaced by the freshness, tingling, and numbing caused by sanshool and hydroxy -sanshool.12) The flavor and distribution of the aroma components also changed during maturation of the fruits,4) the green and fresh flavor of the immature green fruits changing to the mild
citrus-like flavor of the mature fruits. These changes in both pungency and flavor during maturation appear to make Japanese pepper outstanding as a spice. Japanese
people utilize Japanese pepper harvested at various times of the year to take advantage of its changing taste and character during maturation

Aroma Constituents and Alkylamides of Red and Green Huajiao {Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Zanthoxyium schinifolium) by XIAOGEN YANG
The genus Zanthoxylum has more than 200 species. These
plants are aromatic trees and shrubs, native to warm temperate
and subtropical areas worldwide. In Asia, this genus is often
found in the Himalaya region and additionally in Central, South,
Southeast, and East Asia (1, 2). The fruits of these species have
a distinctive aroma that can be generally described as fresh,
floral, spicy, and green. The chemical composition and sensory
profile of the fruits vary among the species; however, many of
them have a distinctive tingling taste. Because of their unique aroma and taste, the fruits of many species of Zanthoxylum have
been used as spice in local cuisines in the Asian region. To the
best of the author's knowledge, American and African Zanthoxylum
species have not yet been used for culinary purposes.
The fruits of Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim are the most
popular huajiao commercial product, called "da hong pao" (big
red robe). This species is native to southwestern China in the
provinces Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Guanxi, and
Guandong. The area Hanyuan in the province of Sichuan is wellknown
for the production of the best quality of da hong pao.
"Green huajiao" is the other popular and widely used spice in
Sichuan, which is the fruit of Zanthoxylum schinifolium Sieb.

Amazing Sichuan- Food Lovers Heaven!
p.s: si tu veux récolter du poivre en automne, on peut trouver des arbres dans quelques parcs en France ( Jardin des Plantes et Champ-de-Mars à Paris) il est aussi utilisé comme barriere végétale anti-intrusion mais je ne t'ai rien dit

Oui j'en ai vu quelques fois également au marché ou chez l'épicier. Mais l'utilisation en est assez limitée en dehors du zeste. Qu'en as-tu fais à part lui ôter ses petites graines ? Et ici encore ce n'est pas donné.
|
je les ai congelés pour utiliser le zeste en cuisine, le jus peut servir pour le Ti punch ( 1 mesure de jus de Combava 1 mesure de sirop de sucre de canne 2 à 2,5 mesures de Rhum blanc) ou pour le rinçage des cheveux.

Il avait l'air bien relevé celui-ci. Tu utilises du piment frais ? Le piment rouge classique (souvent en provenance du Maroc) ou un autre ?

Non, c'est du piment Sichuanais séché réhydraté, adaptation à ma sauce du plat, car ils utilisent les piments principalement pour aromatiser l'huile en début de cuisson et ne les mangent pas, c'est dommage car ils sont excellents avec leurs arômes citronnés, voici quelques variétés utilisées:
le ptit facing heaven c'est le piment a kung pao, le long facing heaven est utilisé pour l'huile piquante. |
