Blistered Shishito Peppers
Blistered Shishito Peppers are one of the most addicting appetizers you'll ever taste. These little peppers are crave worthy, offering a delicious balance of flavour and texture.
Servings: 2 - 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 8oz bag shishito peppers equivalent to 227 grams
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- flaky salt to garnish
- sesame seeds to garnish
- soy sauce for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl toss the peppers with sesame oil.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.*When a drop of water smokes on the surface of the pan, you know it's hot enough.
- Add the peppers in a single layer to the dry skillet and stir occasionally until tender and blistering, about 6-7 minutes.*Try to keep the peppers in a single layer to allow them to cook and blister as evenly as possible.You’ll know the peppers are done when they’re tender and have deep golden blisters, with a few charred spots, and they smell lightly smoky.
- Transfer peppers to a plate, season with flaky salt and garnish with sesame seeds.
- Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
It is estimated that 1 in every 10 shishito peppers pack extra spice - so proceed with caution.
