Blistered Shishito Peppers

 Ingredients

  • 20-30 Shishito Peppers*
  • Salt
  • Olive Oil
*YMMV

Instructions
  1. Rinse and dry peppers.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat to the point that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. 
  3. Toss peppers in a bowl with olive oil to evenly coat them. This works better than trying to coat them in the skillet.
  4. Add the oiled peppers to the skillet. Let them rest for a few minutes before disturbing them so they get a chance to char. Stir/turn them until the peppers are tender and blistered in spots. Popping sounds are good. This will take roughly 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from skillet and sprinkle liberally with salt. Allow to cool briefly and enjoy.

I did not understand the hype at first. But then suddenly the peppers had disappeared and I didn't know what happened. Shishito peppers are incredibly mild, but I've been told every once in a while you'll get a doozy that is HOT. Hasn't happened to me yet, but you've been warned.
