Ingredients

This is one of my favorite tapas dishes. This is so simple, yet so incredibly good !! fresh small green peppers / chili fried on high heat in a little olive oil and flake salt. Perfect snack or as part of a tapas table.

Step 1

Buy Padron chili and rinse them well in cold water. Let them dry completely.

Step 2

Find a frying pan (preferably non-stick) and pour in some good olive oil. I crush a couple of garlic cloves with the peel on and put in the oil. This is to give a little touch of garlic to the taste. Heat to high heat.

Step 3

Add the padron chillies and cook for 5-7 minutes on high heat. Keep the pan moving so they do not burn. They should get a little dark areas and "shrink" a little.

Place on a plate and sprinkle with a little flake salt. Best enjoyed steaming heat! Good luck.
