Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Rinse the Padrón peppers under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry the Peppers

    Add the Padrón peppers to the pan in a single layer. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes until they are blistered and slightly charred. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Remove the peppers from the pan, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve immediately.
