Blistered Padron Peppers - Pimientos de Padrón

Turn on the fire to medium heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to a medium-sized frying pan.

Cut 2 cloves of garlic in half.

Add the garlic to the hot oil in the pan.

Once the garlic has some color and aroma, add the pimientos padron to the pan and mix them with the oil.

After about 2 to 2.5 minutes, continue stirring the peppers to ensure even cooking.

After about 4.5 to 5 minutes, check the peppers; they should start to blister nicely.

Let the peppers cook for an additional 45 seconds to 1 minute for more blistering.

After about 7.5 minutes total cooking time, turn off the heat and plate the peppers.

Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top of the plated peppers.
