things people ask

• What kinds of recipes measure bell pepper by the teaspoon?
  Compound butters, finishing salsas like a pico for crostini, cocktail garnishes (a Bloody Mary rim mix), and herb-forward sauces where pepper is one note among many. Teaspoon amounts also show up in baby-food recipes and in spice-blend-style seasonings where a small amount of finely minced fresh pepper is folded into yogurt or labneh.
• How small does the mince need to be for a teaspoon?
  Around 1 to 2 millimeters per piece — a true brunoise. If pieces are bigger, you'll get one or two chunks per teaspoon and the weight will swing between 2 and 5 grams depending on luck. A sharp knife and patient knife work matters more here than at the cup scale, because the whole point of a teaspoon dose is even distribution.
• Is dried bell pepper interchangeable at this scale?
  No — dried bell pepper flakes weigh roughly a third of fresh per teaspoon, around 1 gram, and they need to rehydrate to bloom flavor. If a recipe asks for a teaspoon of fresh minced bell pepper and you only have dried flakes, use about half a teaspoon and add a splash of water or whatever liquid is in the dish. The flavor is more concentrated and slightly sweeter than raw.
