Fresh Padron Peppers, Hand Picked from Spain, Sweet and Salty, Tapas Favorite Reviews

4.8 Rating 212 Reviews

Try our fresh padron peppers, hand picked every week and shipped from Spain. These famous little green peppers are served as a tapa in bars all over Spain and are an absolute favourite with holidaymakers and locals alike. We work with a cooperative specialising on the growing of traditional Spanish vegetables, in which padron pepper is their star product. With a unique sweet, almost asparagus-like taste and a salty outside, Pimientos de Padron are as delicious as they are popular. But beware of their motto: 'unos pican, otros no', which translates to 'some are spicy, some are not'. These peppers best suit simple cooking; just blister in a hot pan with a smudge of olive oil and a generous sprinkle of crunchy sea-salt until wilted and soft. They can be used as an accompaniment to other ingredients but shine best as a simple tapas on their own.

Used to race my French sister in law to the last of the flash fried salted Padron Peppers back in the carefree travel days. Discount chains sell them but they're not large and fresh and plump like Basco's - and these are value for money, too. If I can't visit France or Spain - and my family live close to the border - then this is the next best thing and, actually, it's better, because I DON'T HAVE TO SHARE!

Really good Padron peppers - these are so hard to get in Northern Ireland and when you do, they are seedy, so lovely to be able to order good ones!
