Bright, healthy, tasty, and probably the quickest tapas dish you will ever make! These vibrant and delicious Padrón peppers grown in Galicia in the North of Spain are a mild little green pepper to be enjoyed whole, straight from the pan with a chilled beer alongside. But watch out, you might be the one to find the hot and fiery one (they say there is one on every plant!), ¡delicioso!
Ingredients:
You may need...
- Sauté or frying pan
- Serving plate
Method:
- Drizzle the olive oil into a sauté or frying pan and heat on the boiling plate until almost smoking.
- Add the whole peppers to the pan, they should begin to sizzle and jump about immediately.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the start to blister and wilt a little (I prefer them to still have a little crunch, but if you want to soften them more just fry for an extra minute).
- Transfer from the pan to a serving dish and sprinkle generously with the flakes of sea salt.
- Serve hot and whole, picking them up from the storks and biting into the sweet, tangy, salty pepper, ¡perfecto!
Recipe Tips:These should definitely be prepared at the last minute, in front of your guests for extra theatre, with the beer chilled, poured and ready to go!
