Padron peppers
Crisp and smoky Padron peppers, lightly charred and tossed with sea salt for a delightful tapas-style lunch.
Padron peppers are petite Spanish beauties that burst with sweet, earthy flavors when flash-fried or grilled. Their tender crunch pairs perfectly with a glass of crisp white wine and a side of crustless baguette slices.
