Most tapas restaurants have these on the menu but if you fancy making them at home, Waitrose** at least definitely stocks them.
**And Lidl and M&S too apparently!
Ingredients (makes enough for a tapas style dish, or starter for two):
1 bag Padron peppers (150g)
Olive oil
Sea salt
Method:
Heat a good glug of olive oil in a frying pan.
Cook the peppers over a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until the skin starts to blister.
Put the peppers into a serving bowl and sprinkle with sea salt.
Watch out for the hot ones!

Yummy. We have a similar recipe with green chillies eaten at breakfast with chappattis. Urvashi@TheBotanicalBaker

ReplyDeleteI love these! It's like playing an edible version of Russian Roulette . . . although I can say that I have never ever (touch wood) had a really hot one yet . . . yikes!
ReplyDeleteHe he - definitely adds an element of excitement to your tapas. I always feel a bit disappointed if I don't get a hot one though!
ReplyDeleteWhere can i buy Padron Peppers from in London???
ReplyDeleteWaitrose definitely sells them. Bigger M&S Simply Food stores have apparently started stocking them and Lidl stocks them sporadically. Let me know if you find them anywhere else. C
