CHARRED SHISHITO OR PADRÓN PEPPERS
4 servings
These flavorful peppers are often served as an appetizer, but we enjoy them as a summer side dish as well.
Heat in a large heavy skillet (such as cast iron) over medium-high heat:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
When the oil is hot, add:
- 8 ounces shishito or padrón peppers
Cook, tossing the peppers in the skillet occasionally, until they are soft and unevenly charred, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with:
- Salt
- Lemon or lime juice
