These are a great quick easy snack. I have recently come back from Barcelona. Over there the food generally does not feature chilli at all so I did struggle for a week or so. However at almost every cafe and bar you can get your hands on Padrons. from a market you will pay about 1 euro for around a kilo. in the tourist traps you will pay up to 9 euro 50 for about 15 peppers!!!! so do shop around if you go.
Basically all you need is a pile of Padron chili, some oil and salt. Cold beer is also essential but optional :)
Enjoy and prepare to become addicted. I have grown Padrons this year and will soon be eating my first crop. why not have them as a starter or even in stead of popcorn with a movie.

- Wash the peppers thoroughly in cold water and pat dry.
- Place a large frying pan over a high heat, add the olive oil and heat until smoking then place the Padrons in
- Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally using tongs to avoid the oil, until blistered and slightly charred.
- Drain the peppers on kitchen paper, sprinkle generously with the sea salt and serve with your optional beer.
