Russian Boeuf Stroganoff
This recipe offers a new twist on Beef Stroganoff with a juniper-cacao based spice blend. It pairs best with wide noodles, mushrooms, and beef. You can optionally substitute one or all of these ingredients. Alternatively, you can add the sauce to a mushroom casserole with green beans or potatoes. Pink peppercorns are best when added at the end of cooking or sprinkled on the finished meal. Their flavor pairs perfectly with juniper.
