Fresh Padron Peppers

Description

Try our fresh padron peppers, hand picked every week and shipped from Spain.

These famous little green peppers are served as a tapa in bars all over Spain and are an absolute favourite with holidaymakers and locals alike.

We work with a Cooperative specialising on the growing of traditional Spanish vegetables, in which padron pepper is their star product.

With a unique sweet, almost asparagus-like taste and a salty outside, Pimientos de Padron are as delicious as they are popular. But beware of their motto: ‘unos pican, otros no’ which translates to ‘some are spicy, some are not’

These peppers best suit simple cooking; just blister in a hot pan with a smudge of olive oil and a generous sprinkle of crunchy sea-salt until wilted and soft. They can be used as an accompaniment to other ingredients but shine best as a simple tapas on their own.
