Pepper lends satisfying heat and bite to most any dish (and it's great for salt-free diets). It works well in combination with other herbs and spices, too, and is commonly found in spice blends. Suggested Uses: Pepper is sold in several forms: Cracked: These large pieces of black pepper berries are especially good on salads and pasta, or pressed into meat that's been rubbed with oil. Coarse: This large grind retains more volatile aroma and flavor than finer grinds. A dash at a time adds zing to salads, meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Medium, Fine and Extra-Fine Grinds: These familiar shaker varieties are often used as table condiments. The finer the particle size, the more immediate the flavor release. Whole Peppercorns: For the freshest aroma and taste, grind whole peppercorns as needed--or offer a peppermill at the table. Freshly ground pepper's especially good in salsa, salads, on pasta, and in soup. Whole peppercorns are also used in pickling, marinades, meats, and soups. (Tie in a cheesecloth bag or small strainer for easy removal.)
