Tip: A Szechuan peppercorn looks like a black peppercorn but has been split in order to remove its small bitter seed. Szechuan peppercorns have a strong lemon-like flavour. Look for them in specialty food stores or Asian grocery stores. If unavailable, 1 tsp each black peppercorns and lemon and herbs seasoning may be substituted for the 1 tbsp Szechuan peppercorns.
