### Ingredients:
– 1 pound of snake meat (look for a reputable supplier)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 bell pepper, julienned
– 2 fresh chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
– 2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
– 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon honey
– Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
First things first, let’s get all our ingredients prepped. Slice the snake meat into thin, bite-sized pieces. If you’ve never handled snake meat before, don’t be intimidated! It’s quite similar to chicken but a bit firmer. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward.

#### Step 2: Sizzle the Snake
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the snake pieces. Cook them until they’re browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the snake from the skillet and set it aside.

#### Step 3: Create the Flavor Base
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant – your kitchen should be smelling heavenly by now!

#### Step 4: Add the Veggies
Time to add some color! Throw in the bell pepper strips and chopped chilies, cooking for another 2 minutes. If you’re not a fan of too much heat, you can deseed the chilies to tone it down a bit.

#### Step 5: Craft the Spicy Peppercorn Sauce
Crushed Sichuan peppercorns are the star here. Add them to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds to release their aroma. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

#### Step 6: Combine and Cook
Return the cooked snake meat to the skillet, stirring it into the spicy peppercorn sauce. Let everything cook together for another 5 minutes until the snake is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.

#### Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness. Serve your Rare Snake – Spicy in a Spicy Peppercorn Sauce Special over steamed rice, quinoa, or even a bed of greens.

### Helpful Tips:
1. **Sourcing Snake Meat:** Your local exotic meat market might carry snake meat, or you could find it online from reputable sources. Always make sure it’s fresh!
2. **Spice Level:** Control the spice by adjusting the amount of chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. If you want a milder dish, reduce the spice – it’ll still be delicious.
3. **Side Dishes:** Complement this dish with a simple side salad or some steamed veggies to keep it light and healthy.
