For the Pepper sauce: In a pan over moderate heat warm the olive oil. Add the dry green peppercorns and let them warm up (not fry) in the olive oil - they will change from green to a brownish colour but the taste won't change. Add the brandy, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, add the garlic clove and let simmer over low heat for 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let infuse for 30 minutes.
