Ingredients

500 grams fresh strawberries
0.5 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 tablespoons honey
4 leaves fresh mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Hull the strawberries (remove their green tops) and, depending on their size, either leave them whole or slice them in halves or quarters.

Step 3

Using a mortar and pestle or a pepper grinder, coarsely crush the black peppercorns. The goal is to have small bits rather than a fine powder.

Step 4

Place the strawberries in a serving bowl or platter, then sprinkle the cracked black pepper evenly over them.

Step 5

Drizzle the honey over the strawberries for a touch of sweetness and to balance the pepper's heat.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and refreshing aroma. Optionally, finely chop the mint and sprinkle it over the top if you prefer a more distributed flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a light dessert, an appetizer, or a refreshing snack. Enjoy!
