Method

Rinse peppers

Rinse the Padrón Peppers under cold water, then spread them on a clean towel or paper towels and pat them completely dry. Leave them whole and make sure there is no water clinging to the skins, so they fry instead of splutter.

Heat the oil

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the Olive Oil. Swirl it to coat the base, then let it heat until it shimmers, but don't let it smoke.

Fry the peppers

Add the peppers in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the skins are blistered and spotted with char and the peppers are tender.

Salt and serve

Transfer the peppers to a serving plate and immediately sprinkle them with Coarse Sea Salt. Serve them hot, while the skins are still wrinkled and the flesh is juicy.
