If you are lucky enough to have sansho bush in your garden, this is the recipe for you. Sansho is translated as Japanese pepper so its small berries are used as kick to dishes but leaves are also used. It has got strong lemony flavour. If you don't have sansho bush, you can omit it. Alternatively you can use your favourite herbs.
