Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups (500g) padron peppers
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the oil until hot, then add the padron peppers and fry, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until blistered and hot.
- Serve warm sprinkled with a little sea salt.
Notes
- Before pan searing your peppers, make sure they are fully dried after washing. A dry surface area will help them cook easier.
- A cast-iron skillet is the best way to blister these peppers as it holds heat evenly. But use whatever pan you have.
- Make sure the skillet is not overcrowded as you don’t want the peppers to steam and become soggy.
- You may need to cook these peppers in batches and add more oil as necessary.
- Variations
- Drizzle with a bit of Chili Garlic Oil after cooking for even more flavor and spice.
- A pinch of smoked paprika on the finished peppers adds a delightful smoky flavor note.
- Can’t find Padron peppers? Shishito peppers make an excellent alternative that’s almost identical!
- Flaky sea salt on top such as Maldon salt makes an excellent presentation and gives the peppers a rich salty bite.
