Ingredients
- 300 grams Padrón peppers
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Padrón peppers under cold water and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for a few seconds.
Step 3
Carefully add the Padrón peppers to the skillet in a single layer. Be cautious of oil splatter.
Step 4
Cook the peppers for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until their skins blister and char in spots. You want the peppers to soften but still hold their shape.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the peppers to a serving plate.
Step 6
Sprinkle the peppers generously with flaky sea salt while they are still warm.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a tapas dish alongside bread, cheese, or your favorite Spanish wine.
