Emma Padrón Peppers Recipe – How to Prepare Spanish Pimientos de Padrón
You may have seen Padron peppers in the supermarket or at a tapas bar but what are Padron peppers and how to cook them?
Pimientos de Padrón originates from Padrón in Galicia, in the northwest part of Spain. These were from The Tomato Stall on Isle of Wight. They are small, green peppers which are usually mild. Every once in a while, however, you’ll bite into one that’s surprisingly a bit like pepper roulette! (We have noticed that this game hasn’t produced as many spicy ones as there used to be – anyone else get this?)
