Fried padrones peppers - Spain's deliciously dangerous divas

Padrones are small green peppers, native to Spain, but occasionally available in American farmer's markets. The season is very short, and in just a few weeks they disappear, like some mysterious, charismatic tourist leaving just as things are heating up. They tell you they'll see you next year, but that doesn't help the melancholy as you mope over to the jalapeños.

As you'll see in the video, a simple preparation is recommended. A quick sizzle in hot olive oil, and a few flakes of "Fleur de Sel" sea salt is all that's needed with this late summer treat. Too many ingredients, and the flavor will not be fully enjoyed.

For more info: This recipe is from my blog, Food Wishes Video Recipes. There you'll find the ingredient amounts, as well as more foodie fun.
