BLISTERED PADRÓN PEPPERS WITH SMOKED SEA SALT
The Padrón is a small, dark green pepper that rates low on the spice spectrum. These peppers benefit from a bit of blistering heat, lending them a smokiness to complement their soft spice. Serve them as an appetizer or side. Caution: they can be addictive, so be sure to make enough. Smoked sea salt can be bought at some grocery stores and specialty markets. If you can’t find Padrón peppers, you can substitute shishito peppers.
