Roasted Szechwan Pepper Salt

1. Mix the peppercorns and salt in a heavy skillet and toast over medium heat, stirring, till the salt turns off white, about 5 minutes.

2. Adjust the heat so the peppercorns don't burn, but they will probably smoke a little.

3. Remove the hot mixture to a food processor and process for 1 minute to get a fine powder. Or you may gind the mix in a spice grinder. Pour through sieve to remove the peppercorn husks.

4. Store the mixture in a clean dry bottle, sealed airtight.
