Pepper RDX

Pepper RDX (reduction) is a rich and delicately aromatic reduction accented with ground Madagascar pepper. From our experience, it can transform almost any dish you can think of with just a drop or a drizzle.

A fixture of noma’s menus for close to a decade now, this finishing sauce is great for folding into pan sauces, brushing onto barbecued seafood and grilled vegetables, or whipping into your favorite butter.

Start with peaso, end with pepper 

To make Pepper RDX, we blend a noma-style peaso with water, freeze, and then ice-clarify to get a clear liquid that we reduce to a syrupy consistency. We accent that syrup with ground, aromatic Madagascar pepper that brings notes of nutmeg, cumin, allspice, and Szechuan. It’s more fragrant and delicate than it is spicy.

A good shake, the perfect finish

Pepper RDX is a finishing sauce that’s great for brushing onto barbecued seafood, drizzling over grilled vegetables, or whipping into your favorite butter for a bit more flavor. Just avoid direct heat and remember to shake well before use!
