Shishito peppers

The green Shishito, originally from Japan, has a firm, savoury taste. The name Shishito in Japanese refers to the “head of the Lion”, which the underside of the pepper resembles. When used in the kitchen, it resembles the Pimientos de Padron, but in combination with typical Japanese dishes. It is also the ideal choice for a tempura. The pepper is delicious to fry or grill with some sea salt and olive oil. Bake or grill the Shishito chillies in a pan or oven with oil until the chillies blacken and shrivel, about 5 minutes in a pan and 15-20 minutes in the oven (175 degrees). Finish with (sea) salt. It is also possible to prepare this on the BBQ. The small pack of 150gr Shishito is in a grill dish with oil and salt.

It is best to store the Shishito peppers in the fridge or in a cool, dark place in a utility room, cellar cupboard, shed, etc. The ideal temperature is between 10°C and 13°C. Then the peppers will last the longest, around 7 to 14 days. If you cannot use everything fresh immediately, freeze the peppers, then you always have a supply of peppers.
