Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Rinse the Pimientos Padrón peppers under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

  3. 3

    Cook the Peppers

    Add the rinsed Pimientos Padrón peppers to the hot skillet. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Season the Peppers

    Once the peppers are cooked, remove them from the heat and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Toss gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the blistered Pimientos Padrón to a serving dish. Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over the peppers before eating.
