Pimientos de Padrón

- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat until shimmering.
- Add Padrón peppers in a single layer and cook 3–5 minutes, turning often, until skins are blistered and lightly charred.
- Transfer to a serving plate and season generously with flaky sea salt.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
Ingredients
- Lemon optional wedges, to serve
- 300 g Padron Peppers washed and dried thoroughly

Notes
Dry peppers well before frying to avoid oil splatter.
Cook over high heat so skins blister quickly without over-softening.
Serve straight away while still hot and glossy.
