00:00 Hi, my name is Joe.

00:00 I'm the head chef at Salt Yard Restaurant,

00:02 and today I'm gonna be showing you

00:03 how to do the perfect Padron pepper.

00:05 Padron peppers are traditionally Spanish tapas.

00:13 They are very commonly used at the very beginning of a meal,

00:17 and I'm gonna show you how to cook them at home.

00:20 So the first thing to do is take a handful of peppers

00:25 and coat them in oil.

00:28 (upbeat music)

00:30 You need to heavily season them with rock salt.

00:35 It's really important you use the Maldon sea salt

00:38 or a really nice flaked salt.

00:40 You want to taste the salt while you're eating the peppers,

00:42 and the seasoning and flavor of the rock salt

00:45 is so much better than table salt.

00:46 A little sprinkle of pepper,

00:48 and mix it together with your hands.

00:51 And then they're ready to fry.

00:57 The trick with Padrons is to make sure the pan

00:59 is as hot as it possibly can be,

01:01 making sure the oil is smoking,

01:03 and then we add the Padrons in.

01:04 Once the Padrons are blistered and burnt around the outside

01:22 and slightly soft to touch, we're ready to go.

01:25 Be careful 'cause they do split in the pan

01:28 and will spit at you.

01:30 I'm gonna take them from here.

01:33 And just the last thing to do,

01:50 season it with a little bit of salt.

01:52 And there we have it, Padron peppers.
