Ingredients

  • 250g Padrón peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste

Method

  1. Wash the peppers and pat them completely dry.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Add the peppers in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until blistered and softened.

  3. Tip into a dish, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and serve straight away. Most are mild, but occasionally one is hot.
