Blistered Shishito Peppers
Not only do shishito peppers make a tasty nibble to serve with drinks or before you sit down for dinner, they are also a lot of fun: it is said that 1 in 20 of the peppers is spicy hot, although we can’t verify the exact proportion in any given batch.
- Yield: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound shishito peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large Anolon Vesta enameled cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add about half the peppers, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers blister and are tender, about 3 1/2-4 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
