how to cook shishito peppers, padron peppers, shishito peppers, vegetarian snack

peppers-2
peppers-1

Or padron peppers. Either is good. This is a nice snack for when you’re not too hungry or don’t want to get too full. Something to nibble on before dinner with a glass of wine or a gin and tonic. That’s not crackers and cheese!

Ingredients
Shishito or padron peppers
olive oil
sea salt and black pepper

1/4 cup greek yogurt or mayo*
1 tbs tahini
squeeze lemon juice
1 garlic clove
salt and pepper

*If vegan, leave out the mayo or yogurt and just use extra tahini and extra olive oil to make the dipping sauce

1) Heat up olive oil in a frying pan and fry the peppers on high, stirring, till blistered on all sides. This will only take a few minutes. Grind salt and pepper on the peppers and then plate them.
2) To make the sauce, mince a garlic clove and mix with tahini, yogurt, lemon juice and salt and pepper.

Enjoy!

Tortilla 1Tortilla 2Tortilla espagnola

The first time I went to Spain, I noticed these potato omelettes everywhere–on every menu, in every cafe and bar, stuffed inside of bread flutes and sold as sandwiches and sometimes cut into wedges and served to us free with a drink. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that what I thought would be a cold, dry, brick of potato and egg turned out to be soft, moist and delicious. The humble tortilla is not your run-of-the-mill omelette. For one thing it is delicious cold. For another it is delicious warm, hot, on its own, stuffed in bread, or served with homemade romesco and a green salad. It doesn’t feel like a heavy meal either–unless you eat the whole thing yourself.
I recently had the good fortune to visit my sister-in-law who lives just outside of Madrid. She was a wonderful hostess and tour guide and joy of joys, we…
