Market - August 24th

This week we will be featuring Padron peppers.  Pimientons de Padron are a popular tapas in their country of origin, Spain.  These small green peppers are cooked over high heat in a couple of tablespoons of oil until they are blistered on all sides (~10 minutes).  Sprinkle with salt and serve.  What makes these peppers different is that one out of a dozen are hot.  The eleven others are mild and tasty.  Think of this dish as Spanish Roulette.  Fun to make for a backyard BBQ.  Put a cast iron skillet on the grill and cook them right in front of your guests.
