Pimientos di Padron Chilli

Padrón peppers are a staple in Spanish cuisine, often served as a classic tapas dish. Traditionally, they are quickly blistered in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, making for an irresistible appetizer. Their mild, slightly sweet flavour pairs well with meats, seafood, and salads. While most peppers remain mild, an occasional one carries a surprising spicy kick, adding a fun and flavourful twist to any dish.
