Padrone Peppers

Padron chili peppers have a vegetal and grassy flavor mixed with a mild to hot level of spice. If they are left to ripen to full maturity, a sweeter flavor will develop, and the spice with build in intensity. Padron chili peppers are well suited for both raw and cooking methods such as grilling, sautéing, frying, and roasting. The peppers can be consumed fresh, out-of-hand, sliced into salads, or battered and fried into tempura. They can also be used as a pizza topping, sliced into pasta, tossed into soups, cooked into frittatas, or incorporated into rice dishes such as paella. In Spain, Padron chili peppers are traditionally pan-fried in hot olive oil until the skin blisters and are then finished with sea salt and lemon juice. The peppers are served with the stem-on to be consumed as finger food, and after the meal, the stems are discarded. If the peppers are not pan-fried in Spain, large harvests of the peppers are commonly pickled for extended use. Padron chili peppers pair well with creamy sauces, citrus, manchego cheese, other chilis such as smoked chipotles, lobster, shrimp, scallops, meats such as ham, chorizo, pork, and poultry, red cabbage, and tomatoes.
