Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Padrón peppers
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
Instructions
Wash the Padrón peppers under cold water and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for a few seconds.
Carefully add the Padrón peppers to the skillet in a single layer. Be cautious of oil splatter.
Cook the peppers for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until their skins blister and char in spots. You want the peppers to soften but still hold their shape.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the peppers to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the peppers generously with flaky sea salt while they are still warm.
Serve immediately as a tapas dish alongside bread, cheese, or your favorite Spanish wine.
