I make a Szechuan peppercorn salt - I dry roast szechuan, black and
white peppercorn together - equal amount  - aka one part each . Once I
start smelling 'that" smell - the aroma of the peppercorns - I add two
parts kosher salt  - roast another minute or two - usually the salt
changes color just the slightest . I used to then grind this in a spice
grinder but I've taken to putting the mixture in a pepper mill - works
nicely.
