Uses:

Padron peppers are a small, thin-skinned pepper traditional to the Galicia region of Spain. Though an occasional fiery one randomly occurs, padrons are generally mild in flavor, very similar to an Anaheim pepper. In Spain this pepper is a very popular Tapas dish, meaning a small plate appetizer; simply stuff them with cheese, then either bake or fry them in a shallow pan until the skin puffs and begins to separate from the pepper. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and enjoy!

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Select peppers that have smooth, taut skin. Avoid peppers with wrinkles, blemishes, cuts or dark spots. Both the pepper and its stem should be bright in color and heavy. Whole peppers can be stored in refrigeration, unwashed, for up to one week in a plastic bag.
