Shishito/Padrón peppers - where? [General]
2014 Aug 26
Shishito peppers are apparently similar to Padrón peppers (en.wikipedia.org). I was in Galicia this summer and stupidly didn't ever try the famous Spanish peppers. Good to know the Merivale Loblaws sometimes has them!

I pan fried the Padrón peppers in a little tasty olive oil over medium-high flame until they were nicely blistered. With a sprinkling of Maldon sea salt they made for a tasty tapas treat!
While none was actually spicy, the flavour varied from one pepper to the next. Some were mild and sweet-bitter like green bell peppers; others had more of a distinct "hot pepper" taste, but without much in the way of heat.

I recently went tootling around town looking for them, and didn't have any luck! I tried:
- La Tiendita
- Produce Depot
- Herb and Spice (Wellington)
- Several Farm Boys
- Several Loblaws
It's possible that they're a seasonal thing, so they won't be available for another month or two. I'm going to keep looking, though...

Had these for the first time at The Girl and Goat in Chicago. They were excellent.
Bought some at the Brewer Farmer's Market last week. Lightly grilled them, they were even better.
Now i can't find them.... so help me out here Foodies... has anyone seen these in/around Ott/Gat recently?
