00:00Hi, my name is Joe. I'm the head chef at Salt Yard Restaurant,

00:02and today I'm going to be showing you how to do the perfect Padrón pepper.

00:09Padrón peppers are traditionally Spanish tas. They are very commonly used at the very beginning

00:16of a meal, and I'm going to show you how to cook them at home. So the first thing to do

00:22is take a handful of peppers and coat them in oil.

00:30You need to heavily season them with rock salt. It's really important you use the

00:37Maldon sea salt or a really nice flaked salt. You want to taste the salt while you're eating

00:42the peppers, and the seasoning and flavor of the rock salt is so much better than table salt.

00:46A little sprinkle of pepper, and mix it together with your hands.

00:51And then they're ready to fry. The trick with Padrón is to make sure the pan is as hot as it

01:00possibly can be, making sure the oil is smoking, and then we add the Padrón in.

01:09So

01:19once the Padrón are blistered and burnt around the outside and slightly soft to touch,

01:24we're ready to go. Be careful because they do split in the pan and will spit at you.

01:31I'm going to take them from here.

01:40So

01:49and just the last thing to do, season it with a little bit of salt.

01:52And there we have it, Padrón peppers.
