We’ve been picking up bags of padrón peppers at our local farm shop. We’ve usually cook these in a frying pan, or wok, on the stove but have been throwing them onto the barbecue instead.
Thread the peppers onto two metal skewers, one at each end of the pepper, making sure there is a tiny gap between each to form sort of a raft. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil then put over hot coals until done or wrinkled and starting to blister. The raft helps turn them over.
Push them off the skewers into a bowl, toss with little Maldon Salt and serve with a glass of Txakoli or something similar.
We love padron peppers, we call them the Russian Roulette peppers because you never know when one will be extra hot!
Hi Tiffany. We always think this is an urban myth as we’ve never had a hot one! J&J
