Description
These Padron peppers melt in your mouth with a salty heat and lingering pepper flavor, making them an irresistible appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 generous cups of Padron peppers
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot and shimmering.
- Add the Padron peppers to the skillet in a single layer. Cook and stir the peppers for about 5 minutes, or until the skin is brown and blistered, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the peppers are blistered, remove them from the pan and place them on a serving plate.
- Sprinkle the peppers generously with sea salt to taste.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the peppers by holding the stem and biting into them.
Notes
Use the best quality sea salt for optimal flavor. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. These peppers are perfect with a glass of wine on a warm evening. If you can’t find Padron peppers, shishito peppers can be used as a substitute.
