Blistered Shishito Peppers are a great appetizer or snack. For the most part, they are mild and sweet, but occasionally you may bite into a hot one. How do you tell if a shishito pepper is hot or not? Just bite into it. You can find these peppers are gourmet stores or in farmers markets. I normally purchase them at Eataly in NYC for about $5 per pound.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound shishito peppers
- Sea salt
Directions
- Wash and dry shishito peppers.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat until just smoking.
- Cook half of the peppers, turning occasionally, until they begin to blister on all sides. Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat.
- Repeat with remaining peppers, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and more salt.
