Ingredients

  • 8 oz Padron peppers 225g
  • 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil (or a little more, as needed)
  • 1 pinch salt ideally flaked sea salt (or a little more, as needed)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse the peppers then dry well (any water may spit when cooking).
  2. Put the oil in a small-medium skillet - it should form a very thin layer (if not, add a little more). Warm the oil until it is just starting to be smoking hot.
  3. Add the peppers in a single layer and cook for a minute or two on each side, turning as they start to blister and brown slightly.
  4. Serve them hot, sprinkled with a little salt.
