Piquant nutty Panfried Charred Padron Peppers with fennel and sesame seeds, garlic mint, barberries, rose petals, and flaked almonds.
Pamper yourself and gobble something succulent. And, gulp.
This dish will overthrow any belief that vegan food can’t be super easy to make.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a busy schedule at work and need a dish that’s going to be stress-free to make
- When want something colourful, sweet and nutty that’ll give you a splash when you’ve last minute guests calling in
- When you fancy a tapas night before get up and do a flamenco
Panfried Charred Padron Peppers was inspired when munching on panfried padron peppers while sipping cold red wine having tapas in Rambla in Barcelona.
Padron Peppers originate s from Galicia, North-western Spain and grow between May and October.
Padron peppers are a good source of fibre, ideal for keeping the gut moving.
This savoury dish is vegan and paleo.
