Pimentos De Padron Tapas Recipes

EASY PADRóN PEPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Wash the Padrón peppers in running water. Afterward, dry them well. Tip: Use a colander to wash the peppers and drain the water out immediately. For drying, line up the peppers on an absorbent paper towel. 2. Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a heavy skillet. Once the oil is very hot, add the Padrón peppers. 3. Do not move the peppers around as they start to cook in the pan. Once the surface starts to blister and brown, turn them on the other side. 4. Flip the Padrón peppers over and shake them up a couple of times until all sides are brown and blistered. 5. Transfer your Spanish Padrón peppers to a plate and sprinkle sea salt on top. Drizzle some extra virgin oil to finish. Let the peppers cool down for a while and then serve.
