As a way of jazzing up supper you can’t beat a side order of Padron Peppers. I picked up a bag from the Quik-E-Mart yesterday and they’re a lot of fun. On the face of it, Padrons are just small, sweet green peppers that you fry in olive oil and sprinkle with rock salt. However, about 1 in 30 turns out to be explosively hot. Last night’s meal turned into a scene from The Deer Hunter.
