This past weekend at the farmer’s market I found some delicious padron peppers. Padron peppers are originally from Spain and typically eaten as tapas. Eating padron peppers can be a little like roulette since they range in spiciness from mild like a bell pepper to a tad less spicy than a jalapeno. My favorite way to eat them is simply pan roasted and tossed with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.
