I first had Padron peppers in a local European restaurant that has regular Mexican nights as one of the owners is from Mexico. These were always the highlight dish and they are actually very very easy to prepare.
Ingredients
1 pack of Padron peppers
1 teaspoon of garlic paste
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
Ground sea salt
Method
For the peppers
- Put a heavy frying pan on a high heat
- Add some olive oil
- Add the peppers and cook for 5 minutes each side until they start to blacken
- Once done put into a bowl and grind some sea salt all over
For the dipping sauce
- Add the garlic paste, olive oil and mayonnaise together and give a good stir until combined
Thats it, leave the peppers to cool a little then tuck in.
