Cambodia has numerous fascinating spices the most famous of which is probably long pepper. What you see here in this post is not long pepper but rather the kind you are familiar with. What is different about this was the way it had been prepared.
They don't seem to use a lot of chili in their cooking compared to other countries in the region but they definitely love their pepper! Recently I was in the market and saw several kinds of prepared pepper and I had to grab some because it looked so good...
Out of the several varieties available I went for a handful of this type because it looked red, had a strong but pleasant smell and seemed to be the spiciest of the lot.
I'm sure you agree with me it does look great!
The taste is strong but very satisfying.
The woman who sold me this pepper had several other varieties available and I am regretting not having bought them all to sample.
Perhaps I will go back to the market today and grab a handful of a different kind! 😉
