Padron Chilli, 500g

Padron Peppers 500g are 500g of fresh Padrón peppers — the small, thin-skinned Spanish chilli from Galicia, north-west Spain. Most Padrón peppers are mild, but a small number are unexpectedly hot. As a result, eating them is a genuine, playful experience. Furthermore, they cook in under five minutes and make one of the finest tapas dishes imaginable. In particular, they need nothing more than a very hot pan, good olive oil and flaky sea salt.

About Padron Peppers 500g

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Padron Peppers 500g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Padron Peppers 500g From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Padron Peppers 500g

To get the very best from Padron Peppers 500g:

• Heat a heavy pan or cast-iron skillet until very hot with a little olive oil.
• Add the Padrón peppers whole and cook, tossing occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until blistered and charred in patches.
• Remove from the heat, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and serve immediately — best eaten straight from the pan.
• However, the stems are left on for eating — hold the stem and eat the whole pepper.

Perfect Pairings

Padron Peppers 500g pairs beautifully with:

• Flaky Maldon sea salt — the only essential accompaniment
• A glass of chilled Albariño, Manzanilla sherry or cold Spanish lager
• Jamón, patatas bravas or pan con tomate in a classic tapas setting
• Aioli or a simple romesco sauce as a dipping accompaniment

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a week of delivery. Chillies also freeze well — freeze whole and use straight from frozen. However, handle with care and wash hands thoroughly after preparation. Delivered fresh and ready to use.

However you prepare it, Padron Peppers 500g brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
