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.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the peppers to a large bowl, add the vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss to combine. When the pan is very hot, but not smoking, add enough peppers to cover the base of the pan. It's important not to overcrowd the pan to ensure every pepper gets blistered. Let the peppers sit in the pan undisturbed until they start to blister in spots, 30 to 45 seconds. Toss and continue to cook the peppers, stirring frequently, until they are evenly blistered and slightly soft, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the peppers to a plate and continue the process if you have any additional peppers.
- Serve warm with spicy lemon dipping sauce.
- Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish, whole grain mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to a small bowl then whisk to combine.
BLISTERED SHISHITO PEPPERS
This appetizer served in Japanese bars, American steakhouses and everywhere in between is finger food at its best. The charred, sweet peppers have a built-in handle, and they really don't need more than flaky salt for seasoning. That said, you could garnish further with lemon or lime zest, gomasio, bonito flakes, grated cheese, smoked paprika, sumac and so on. You can also cook Padrón peppers using the same method. They have a slightly different shape, but are similarly thin-skinned and mild. One warning, though: Each batch of shishito and Padrón peppers have a handful of surprisingly hot peppers that look identical to the tame ones, so proceed with caution.

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.

Steps:
- If using bell peppers, peel with a vegetable peeler. Steam whole peppers for about 8 minutes, just until softened. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove stems and seeds, working gently to limit breakage. Cut peppers into large pieces and set aside to dry on paper towels. (Recipe can be made up to 8 hours in advance.)
- Just before serving, heat fat in a large skillet (not nonstick) over high heat. Add peppers and stir-fry until skins blister and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large serving dish and sprinkle with vinegar, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings. If desired, sprinkle with coriander. Serve immediately or at room temperature, as an appetizer or side dish.
