Pimentos De Padron Tapas
"I grew up eating these lovely Padron peppers on the beach in Galicia, Spain as a child. Be careful, some are sweet, but some are hot - won't stop me from eating this savory dish. Good for a tapas party.
Padron peppers can be found in the New York area at the Union Square market, from Lani's Farm or a good substitution would be Shishito peppers at an Asian market."

I haven't made your recipe but I absolutely LOVE these wicked little peppers and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this recipe....aaaahhh.....memories...I tried them the first time I went to Galicia and when I went back a couple of years later I made sure I had them every day twice a day...Yummo !!! It is just such a shame that they are so hard to find out of Europe, I live in Australia now and have just bought some seeds, so next Spring I hope to have buckets full ....I cant wait!!!!<br/>For anyone out there who likes a bit of a chilli kick these are for you !!!
