I just had something similar in San Sebastian, Spain. I gobbled up a giant plate of them in two minutes. Love lots of salt on these guys.

Yum! I almost bought these at the Union Sq market today, but they were so pricey…now I’m regretting not getting them anyway…

I’m a big fan of shishito peppers to (so much so I made them a part of my blog header) . Grilled with salt is my favourite, but I’m liking the fried idea.

I’ve had peppers grilled like this and served as tapas in Spain – I could eat bowls of the stuff. Now, the only question is, where shall I get my hands on some of these peppers, hmm…

I will definitely be trying these peppers – they look and sound fantastic. How spicy are they?

I love padron peppers, too! I made them stuffed with piave cheese and fried with the same batter.

Katie, I’m almost positive that you will be able to find these in San Fran. I get them at the farmer’s market here, but only one farm stand has them regularly. Nina – hmm, you might have a harder time! But you can substitute other peppers for sure.

well well. these look damn good. i was thinking even tempura batter. i am going to go out on a limb here and say that these look better than squash blossoms (always good in theory – but not as much in practice).

I want to find them. Are they available in super markets or just at special markets? gimme!

I love these peppers too! I always cook them the first way, but I’ll try the second now. Pimiento’s de pardron are also really good, and the probability of getting a spicy one seems a little bit higher.
