Pimentos De Padron Tapas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

20 -40 padron bell peppers
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 -3 garlic clove, fresh, finely minced (to your taste)
sea salt (to your taste)
balsamic vinegar (optional, to your taste)

Preparation

Wash and dry peppers.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.
Fry and stir peppers well, for about 3 minutes, until they blister and burst.
Remove peppers from oil and dry on paper towel covered plate.
Sprinkle with a generous amount of sea salt and garlic and enjoy!
Traditionally, it is not served with garlic, but it gives it an extra kick that I enjoy.
I have also drizzled a little bit of really good quality balsamic vinegar or red pepper flakes on the peppers as well, for a zesty flavor.
