Sautéed Shishito Peppers

June 13, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

If you’re not enjoying shishito peppers on the deck with a glass of Pinot Gris, is it even summer?

That might be a bit dramatic, but in all honesty if you haven’t had a chance to nibble these peppers, I would highly encourage you to give them a try.

Similar to the Spanish pepper, padron, shishito’s actually hail from Japan and are a bit more mellow in flavor. Be careful however, as every so often you can get hit with a spicy one! They’re the perfect summer snack and alternative to your classic chips and guac, are chalked full of antioxidants and are low-cal to boot.

You can grill em’, bake em’, dip em’, or just stick to the basics as I have done here. Sautéed in a pan on medium heat for about 12 minutes (or until they are as soft and blistered as you like), sprinkled with a bit of Himalayan salt and a spritz of lemon juice…it’s THAT simple.

While, these are a staple in our local stores all year round, outside of Brooklyn they might be a bit more difficult to find. Be sure to check your local farmer’s market, Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s if you can’t get them in your more traditional grocery stores!

HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! These day HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! 

These days Aveline is really into walking, giving high fives, giving “kisses” (which is basically just open mouth to the face), blowing raspberries on my tummy (which is also basically just open mouth to my stomach), hugging Summit, loving on her friends from school, morning dance parties, and snuggling with her da-da. 

Her little personality is developing every day and she’s so sweet, funny and just cool. 

Time can seriously slow down now... at least for the next 28 days #almostone #elevenmonthsold #avelinereynolds
