Blistered Shishito Pepper Salad With Chive Vinaigrette Recipes

BLISTERED SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Rinse and pat the peppers dry on a clean tea towel. Transfer the peppers to a medium bowl, drizzle in the oil, and toss until the peppers are evenly coated. Set aside.
• Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly on contact. Add the peppers and let them cook, stirring every minute or so (not too often), until they are tender with charred spots, about 8 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the peppers to a serving plate. Spritz with a lemon wedge, if desired. Sprinkle with salt, to taste (don't skimp). Serve with a little bowl on the side for the pepper stems.

BLISTERED SHISHITO-PEPPER SALAD WITH CHIVE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet, preferably cast iron, over high. Add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until blistered in places but not soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in oil, then chives. Arrange tomatoes, melon, cucumber, and peppers on a platter. Season with salt, drizzle evenly with vinaigrette, and sprinkle with mint; serve.

BLISTERED SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the peppers with the oil. Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high until a drop of water smokes on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. (You may want to turn on your vent, too.)
• Add the peppers in a single layer and cook, without touching, until blistered underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until blistered in spots, puffed, and tender, another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with flaky salt and serve right away.
