Green peppercorns in brine from Opies in a 115 g glass jar, for pepper sauces, pâtés, dressings and marinades.
Opies Green Peppercorns come in a squat glass jar with a black lid printed A Family Business Since 1880, and a cream label reading Green Peppercorns in Brine beside photos of the green berries. Through the glass the soft, olive-green peppercorns sit in their brine. As general background, black pepper is a flowering vine grown for its fruit, a small drupe; peppercorns may be sold as black, green or white pepper, and green peppercorns are the unripe fruit, often preserved in brine. They are soft enough to crush with a spoon. Drain and lightly crush them into a classic green pepper cream sauce for steak or chicken, stir them into pâtés and terrines, add them to mustard dressings and marinades, or scatter a few over grilled fish and roasted vegetables.
