Shishito Peppers: Ernesto and I gobbled up a plate of these mild chiles at a Japanese restaurant (can't remember the name) in San Diego last year. They were delectable and we wanted to recreate them.
I guess we forgot about them. Out of sight, out of mind. Fast forward a year and I spot them at our farmers market. Straight into my stroller.
A quick search on google turned up several "recipes." If you can call salt and lemon a recipe. Can you?
Well, heat some oil, saute these babies until they blister up and get a nice golden color.
Squirt on some lemon juice and sprinkle with kosher salt. Done and done!
As in GONE! This plate did not last more than 5 minutes. So. Damn. Rica!
They are the perfect snack/appetizer!
