Padron Chiles

Finley Farms has been selling small thin-skinned green peppers called Padron chiles. I bought a few to try.

They're a mild pepper with just a little spicy flavor. When lightly charred and salted they make an excellent pre-dinner snack.

And I figure they're pretty healthy.

I simply heated my cast iron fry pan, and dry roasted the chiles until they were brown in places. Then I sprinkled them with salt, placed them in a bowl, and put them on the table.

We ate all but the stem and the clumps of seeds.

If you see Padron chiles, pick them up and try this simple snack.
