Shishito Peppers

Serves 4-6

The perfect bite for your next party!  These peppers aren’t overly spicy; they’re really quite mild and tasty.  You can dress shishito peppers up a variety of ways, but we think they are best blistered in a frying pan with some olive oil, Savor, chili flakes, then finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon.  Serve them as an appetizer, enjoy them as a pre-meal snack, or fry up a few whenever you pop a top.  They’re best paired with something cool to drink and something sweet and spicy to dip them in.

Ingredients

• 6 oz shishito peppers
• 2 oz extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of Savor All-Purpose Seasoning

• Stir peppers and season with half of your salt and half of your chili flakes then continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until peppers soften slightly.
