Discover the delicious flavour of Pimientos de Padron. These small, green and aromatic Spanish chilli peppers originate from the Padrón region of Galicia, where they also get their name from. Delicious as a tapas dish, they are often fried and sprinkled with coarse sea salt. The peppers have a mild flavour and are not spicy, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a subtle and flavourful culinary experience.

Although traditionally eaten as a snack or side dish in Spain, this delicious pepper is now also conquering the hearts (and menus) of culinary enthusiasts around the world. It is increasingly appearing on restaurant menus, as a snack or side dish, in countries such as the US, Mexico, Germany and the Netherlands.

Recipe
Fry or grill the Padron peppers in a pan or oven with olive oil, stirring regularly, until browned and lightly caramelised on all sides. The chillies should soften but still be slightly crunchy. About 5-7 minutes in a pan over medium-high heat and 15-20 minutes in the oven (175 degrees). Then sprinkle (sea) salt over the peppers to taste and serve immediately. It is also possible to prepare this on the BBQ.
