Categories     Appetizer

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces (3 heaping cups) shishito peppers
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
Lemon wedge, optional
Salt, preferably flaky sea salt or kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat the peppers dry on a clean tea towel. Transfer the peppers to a medium bowl, drizzle in the oil, and toss until the peppers are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly on contact. Add the peppers and let them cook, stirring every minute or so (not too often), until they are tender with charred spots, about 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the peppers to a serving plate. Spritz with a lemon wedge, if desired. Sprinkle with salt, to taste (don't skimp). Serve with a little bowl on the side for the pepper stems.

BLISTERED SHISHITO PEPPERS

This appetizer served in Japanese bars, American steakhouses and everywhere in between is finger food at its best. The charred, sweet peppers have a built-in handle, and they really don't need more than flaky salt for seasoning. That said, you could garnish further with lemon or lime zest, gomasio, bonito flakes, grated cheese, smoked paprika, sumac and so on. You can also cook Padrón peppers using the same method. They have a slightly different shape, but are similarly thin-skinned and mild. One warning, though: Each batch of shishito and Padrón peppers have a handful of surprisingly hot peppers that look identical to the tame ones, so proceed with caution.

Time 10m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces shishito peppers
1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as vegetable or grapeseed)
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss the peppers with the oil. Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high until a drop of water smokes on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. (You may want to turn on your vent, too.)
  • Add the peppers in a single layer and cook, without touching, until blistered underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until blistered in spots, puffed, and tender, another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with flaky salt and serve right away.

Time 9m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
20 or so shishito peppers (about 4 or 5 ounces, 1 small basket)
Sprinkle kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Salt: Remove to a bowl and sprinkle the shishito peppers with salt.
  • Make balsamic glaze (Optional): Add a couple tablespoons of balsamic vinegar* to the pan. Remove from heat, and let bubble until the vinegar reduces to a glaze, which should be very quickly. Pour over the blistered shishito peppers. *Balsamic vinegar can be syrupy and sweet, or thin and acidic. Use the syrupy kind. If what you have is thin and very acidic, stir with a half teaspoon of sugar or honey before adding to the hot pan.

Provided by Brookelynne26

Categories     Peppers

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 red bell peppers, bushed with extra virgin olive oil and salted
3 yellow bell peppers, brushed with extra virgin olive oil and salted
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 whole pickled peppadew peppers, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon capers
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven broiler to high. Place the oven rack in its second highest position.
  • Place the whole red and yellow peppers on their sides on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes on each side, leave about 3 inches between the flame and the top of the peppers. This will take about 20 minutes or so. The skins will be charred and he flesh of the peppers soft.
  • Place the peppers in a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let cool to room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Slice the cooled peppers lengthwise in half and remove and discard the skins, seeds, and ribs. Slice into 1/4 inch wide strips and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and sweat the onions for 5 minutes, or until just soft and translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the chile flakes and paprika, then add the roasted peppers strips, peppadews, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Lower heat and cook at a low simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Stir in the red wine vinegar and capers and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Stir in the salt.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For this recipe, it's best to use sweet bell peppers. They're mild in flavor and have a nice, crispy texture when blistered.
  • Cut the peppers evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the peppers are cut unevenly, some parts will be overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the peppers will steam instead of blister. Cook the peppers in batches if necessary.
  • Blister the peppers over high heat: This will help them get a nice, charred flavor.
  • Don't move the peppers around too much: Let them sit in the pan undisturbed so that they can develop a nice crust.
  • Season the peppers to taste: Once they're cooked, season the peppers with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Blistered sweet peppers are a delicious and versatile side dish. They can be served on their own, or used as a topping for tacos, salads, or sandwiches. They're also a great way to add some color and flavor to your meals. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this delicious dish at home.
