Fried Padron Peppers - Spain's Deliciously Unsafe Divas

This is the fourth dimension of yr when ane of my favorite seasonal foods Fried Padron Peppers - Spain's Deliciously Dangerous Divas

This is the fourth dimension of yr when ane of my favorite seasonal foods, the Padron pepper makes its rattling short, annual appearance.

By the way, inwards the video I refer to them equally "Padrones," which is what I've ever called them, too what the guy I ever bought them from at the SF Farmers' marketplace called them. However, they are to a greater extent than commonly called Padron peppers (just inwards illustration y'all are calling roughly looking for some).

What follows is a repost from 2008...

Padrones are small-scale greenish peppers, native to Spain, but occasionally available inwards American farmer's markets. The flavor is short, too inwards only a few weeks they disappear, similar some mysterious, charismatic visitor, leaving only equally things are heating up. They country y'all they'll run across y'all side past times side year, but that doesn't assistance the melancholy equally y'all mope over to the jalapenos.

In improver to their complex, bitter-sweet flavor, the commonly mild padrones are the world's most exciting pepper to eat. This is due to a fascinating genetic oddity - ane out of every dozen or then peppers is actually spicy!

So, in that location y'all are, happily enjoying your fourth dimension amongst this sexy, soft-spoken Spaniard, too wham! Out of nowhere y'all piece of job slapped inwards the face! By the way, if this metaphor is ever made into a movie, Penélope Cruz volition live on playing the purpose of the temperamental pepper.

As you'll run across inwards the video, a uncomplicated training is recommended. H5N1 quick sizzle inwards hot olive oil, too a few flakes of "Fleur de Sel" ocean tabular array salt is all that's needed amongst this belatedly summertime treat. Too many ingredients, too the flavor volition non live on fully enjoyed. Think close it, inwards the movie, should Penélope Cruz live on inwards a 3-piece suit, or a uncomplicated cotton wool sundress? Enjoy!

A exceptional cheers to Steve Eliot for his generous gift of these beautiful padrones.
