Rhum and pepper paint
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | teaspoons | Black peppercorns |
| 4 | Whole cloves | |
| 2½ | tablespoon | Sugar |
| ¼ | cup | Soy sauce |
| ¼ | cup | White rhum |
| 1 | tablespoon | Grated lemon zest |
| 2 | teaspoons | Fresh lemon juice |
Directions
Toast the peppercorns and cloves together in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until puffs of smoke begin to appear. transfer to a spice grinder and grind roughly, about 1 minute. Place the sugar, soy sauce, rhum, lemon zest, and juice in a small heavy saucepan, and add the powdered spices.
Over medium heat, reduce the liquid until ¼ cup remains, about 10 to 12 minutes; it will begin to foam as it reduces. Remove the pan from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature.
Yields: about ¼ cup
