Pimientos de Padrón (Seared Padron Peppers)
A simple yet flavorful Spanish tapa, these small green peppers are blistered in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. Most are mild, but occasionally you'll find a spicy one!
Ingredients
- about 450 g Padrón Peppers
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and heat until it shimmers, which should take about 1 minute.
- 2Carefully add the about 450 g of Padrón Peppers to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing the peppers occasionally with tongs, until they are blistered and slightly charred in spots. You will see some peppers start to soften and their skins wrinkle.
- 3Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the blistered Padrón Peppers to a serving plate.
- 4Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt evenly over the peppers on the serving plate.
- 5Serve the Pimientos de Padrón immediately while they are still warm.
