PAN-FRIED PADRóN PEPPERS



Pan-Fried Padrón Peppers image

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.
