Shishito Peppers

Shishito peppers are a frying/grilling pepper from Japan. They're harvested green, and they're not at all hot (at least... 99% of the time; very rarely there's an odd hot one). They’re best quickly blistered and then eaten hot.

Store in an unsealed bag in the fridge. Make sure you store them dry. Eat within a week, though they may keep for longer.

To cook: keep peppers whole (including stems) and toss in oil and salt.  Blister all sides on a hot cast iron pan or skewer and grill until blistered on all sides. Do not overcook until mushy, the pepper should maintain a little bit of bite. Adjust seasoning if necessary and eat pepper by grabbing the stems and eating as finger food. Dip into a spicy aioli or add a squeeze of lime and pinch of salt.

A farm favorite appetizer/snack!
