Shishito Peppers
Shishito peppers are slender, mild Japanese peppers, typically measuring about 2 to 3 inches in length. Originating from Spain but popularized in Japanese cuisine, they are beloved for their unique flavor profile: primarily sweet with a subtle grassy note, though occasionally one in a batch might surprise with a spicy kick. Their texture is tender yet slightly firm, offering a satisfying bite when cooked. In cooking, shishito peppers are versatile; they blister beautifully when pan-fried or grilled, developing a smoky flavor and a slightly charred exterior while maintaining a vibrant green color. They are often served as a simple appetizer, seasoned lightly with salt or used to add color and mild heat to dishes.
