EASY PADRóN PEPPERS RECIPE
Steps:
- 1. Wash the Padrón peppers in running water. Afterward, dry them well. Tip: Use a colander to wash the peppers and drain the water out immediately. For drying, line up the peppers on an absorbent paper towel. 2. Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a heavy skillet. Once the oil is very hot, add the Padrón peppers. 3. Do not move the peppers around as they start to cook in the pan. Once the surface starts to blister and brown, turn them on the other side. 4. Flip the Padrón peppers over and shake them up a couple of times until all sides are brown and blistered. 5. Transfer your Spanish Padrón peppers to a plate and sprinkle sea salt on top. Drizzle some extra virgin oil to finish. Let the peppers cool down for a while and then serve.

NOELIA'S ORIGINAL SPANISH RECIPE FOR PADRON PEPPERS
Padron is a small area of Spain situated very close to the Northern border with Portugal, on the Atlantic coast side and it's just a short distance south of the famed Santiago de Compostela. So these are a sweet pepper (pimientos de Padrón in Spanish) that originated from South America that you lightly fry and then eat... Then what's the twist? Well the twist is that for some unknown reason roughly one pepper in 20 or 30 will have a slight kick to it, not a whopping belt of a kick like a Jalapeño or Habanero pepper, but just a pleasant surprise to tickle your taste buds. No, they don't throw one of a different variety of pepper into the bag as a joke, apparently the " odd one with a kick" is a natural quirk of this pepper variety. Warning, these are addictive! .. and a brilliant tapas recipe! There is one other similar recipe here, but it uses garlic and balsamic vinegar and a LOT more olive oil, this is the original Spanish recipe from the family that farm Padron Peppers in Herbon - Padron, Spain.
