The shishito pepper has been taking the American culinary scene by storm the past few years. This small, 2-4 inch, thin walled pepper from Japan is one of the hottest new appetizers at cutting edge eateries. Good news is it’s super easy to prepare at home also.
They are thought to be closely related to the Padron pepper from Spain and have similar flavors and growth habits.
Shishito gets it’s name from it’s appearance. The heavily wrinkled tip of the pepper looks like a lions head. Shishito is an abbreviation of shishi togarashi (lion chili pepper).

While it is a chili pepper, most have zero heat. One out of every 10-20 will have a punch of heat, but just enough to take you by surprise. Not enough to burn the top off of your head.
To cook simply blister with olive oil, then salt them and dress with a squeeze of lime juice. Grilling, broiling, sautéing and deep frying all work equally well for blistering these peppers. You’ll have a delicious and healthy farm to table treat in under 15 minutes.
