Sautéed Whole Peppers

Salty sautéed peppers, especially those that are mildly hot, are delicious summer treats—irresistible bites with a glass of chilled wine.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Cover the bottom of a sauté pan with a film of olive oil and put over medium heat. Add small, whole thin-fleshed peppers such as Lipstick and Nardello, or the small green Padrón pimentos (some are spicy and some are not), and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the peppers have softened and the skins have started to blister. Serve warm sprinkled with coarse sea salt.
