PAN-FRIED PADRóN PEPPERS

Rare and exotic Spanish Padrón peppers are only in season for a few weeks but it's worth scooping some of them up to enjoy their fascinating genetic oddity-only one out of every dozen or so peppers is spicy! Serve these pan-fried beauties alongside some garlic mayonnaise or with fried eggs so you can dip them in the yolks.

½ pound fresh Padrón peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅛ teaspoon fleur de sel (sea salt), or to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse peppers and tap off most of the water.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy-duty sauté pan over high heat. Add peppers; they will crackle and steam as they blister. Cook until peppers start to brown and deflate, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle any olive oil from the pan over top.
