Pimientos de Padron
Pimientos de Padron are a delicious speciality from Galicia. These thumb-sized chillies are completely without the usual fire. To prepare just fry, with the stalks still attached, in hot olive oil until blistered, use kitchen towel to remove excess oil and sprinkle liberally with flakes of sea salt. They may not make the world's most attractive dish but they are absolutely scrumptious. If you find these in your local greengrocer's, I urge you to give them a try. You won't be disappointed.
