Blistered Padrón Peppers

These blistered padrón peppers are a quintessential Spanish tapas dish, celebrated for their simplicity and vibrant flavour. Prepared quickly in a hot frying pan, the skins become beautifully charred and smoky while the flesh softens. Part of the charm lies in the culinary gamble; while most of these vibrant green peppers are mild and sweet, you will occasionally come across one that packs a surprising punch of heat.

As a versatile vegan starter or side dish, they are best served warm with a generous scattering of flaky sea salt to enhance their natural earthiness. Whether you are hosting a summer garden party or looking for a quick savoury snack to enjoy with a cold drink, this recipe delivers maximum impact with minimal effort. Simply grab them by the stem and enjoy the authentic taste of the Mediterranean at home.
