Padron chile peppers have a vegetal and grassy flavour mixed with a mild to hot level of spice.
If they are left to ripen to full maturity, a sweeter flavor will develop, and the spice with build in intensity.
PREP: Padron chile peppers are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as grilling, sautéing, frying, and roasting.
The peppers can be consumed fresh, out-of-hand, sliced into salads, or battered and fried into tempura.
They can also be used as a pizza topping, sliced into pasta, tossed into soups, cooked into frittatas, or incorporated into rice dishes such as paella.
Fresh peppers will keep 1-2 weeks when loosely stored whole and unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
