This prized Spanish heirloom is setting the culinary world of tapas on fire. Often referred to as “Spanish Roulette”, one out of five peppers may be extremely hot. De Padrón yields thin-walled, conical 1” by 3” fruits with a normal Scoville heat index of 500 although the odd one will stun you with up to 25,000 heat units! The plants grow from 18” to 24” tall, yielding an abundant profusion of that mature from green hot chile peppers that mature to red. Normally picked when green, De Padrón is so popular that there is a whole festival held in its honor each year in Padrón, Spain. For your own tapas party, fry whole green De Padrón in olive oil until white blisters appear. Drain on paper towels and season with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper. Holding the stem, eat whole with a cool beer! (OP.)
These attractive, slender rosy-mauve fruits grow on foot high, disease-resistant plants. Ping Tung is named for its native town in Taiwan. Harvest at 8” to 10”, when it is perfect for stir-fries and heavenly in Thai-style red curry. You’ll need red curry paste (available at Asian groceries or gourmet markets), a few perfect Ping Tung, a can of coconut milk, boneless chicken and cilantro to garnish. Don’t use alot of curry paste unless you like it HOT. Serve atop fragrant jasmine rice. (OP.)
