Blistered shishito peppers
YESSSSSSS!!! Padron peppers are heeeeeere!!!
If you’ve never done this SO SIMPLE dish, do it tonight! It’s SO DAMN easy and SO DELISH. It’s a great side dish on a hot evening and it also makes a great vegetarian appetizer for entertaining.
The trick is to make sure your pan is REAL hot and then to salt generously while the peppers are still hot. Honestly, mine could be slightly more charred. I’m not known for my patience. What can I say? To know me is to love me.
