Absolutely one of my favourite tapas dishes, these delicious little Green capsicums are from the town of Padron in Galicia. I guess they may be quite difficult to buy outside of Spain so you may need to go to a specialist Spanish supplier.
They are deliciously sweet but one in a dozen or so is very hot, you really can't tell looking. They are simply cooked in a skillet with Olive Oil heated until it is nearly smoking hot then add the peppers, (wash and dry them first) for 4 or 5 minutes turning from time to time until slightly blistered and charred.
Drain the Peppers on some kitchen paper, and sprinkle generously with Sea Salt or salt Flakes. Irresistible with an ice cold glass of Manzanilla.
As an Englishman living in Europe for years, this blog is about the recipes we have made for dinner and lunch parties for friends and family over the years. I can think of nothing in life that is more pleasurable and fun than to sit down with old friends eating and drinking proper home made food made from seasonal fresh ingredients, enjoying some local wines. The sort of Lunches that last into the night. Lunches Memories are made of.
