Some are hot and some are not
Padrón peppers are known for their small size, green colour and slightly conical shape. Their best-known characteristic is that some peppers may be hot while others remain mild.
They are supplied in bags of approximately 300 grams, a convenient amount for preparing a serving.
How to cook them
The most common preparation is to fry or sauté them whole in oil and finish with salt. They can also be cooked on a griddle.
Keep them refrigerated and use them while the skin remains firm and fresh.
