Ingredients
Preparation
Wash the Pimientos de Padrón (200 g) thoroughly under cold water and pat them very dry with a kitchen towel so they don't splatter too much in the pan later – meow, that's important for a clean kitchen!
Heat the extra virgin olive oil (2 tbsp) in a pan over high heat until it shimmers slightly.
Add the dried Pimientos de Padrón (200 g) to the hot oil and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until the skin blisters and turns slightly dark brown in some places.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the hot peppers directly with the coarse sea salt (1 tsp) before serving immediately – this keeps everything nice and crispy!
