  • Add cracked black pepper and optional green peppercorns. Stir well. Taste and add more pepper if you want that extra punch. Add more cream a teaspoon at a time (if necessary) until you reach your preferred pourable or dipping texture.

  • Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or longer to let flavours meld. The sauce will thicken slightly while chilling.

Notes

Use coarsely cracked black and green peppercorns. Pre-ground pepper won’t have the same bite or texture.
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days; stir before serving as herbs and peppercorns may settle.
