Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Padrón peppers
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Coarse sea salt
Instructions
Wash the Padrón peppers thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat for about 1 minute, then add the extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the Padrón peppers to the pan in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
Cook the peppers, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until they are blistered and slightly charred on all sides. You may hear them pop slightly as they cook—this is normal.
Sprinkle the peppers generously with coarse sea salt while still hot.
Transfer the blistered peppers to a serving dish and serve immediately as a tapa or side dish. Enjoy them warm!
