Blistered Shishito Peppers with Spicy Dipping Sauce

August 24, 2018 By Kristen O'Brien Leave a Comment

I’m settling into that no-fuss dinner phase of the summer.  Rarely am I getting into elaborate baking or cooking projects.  Spending lots of time outside and little time preparing meals.  Grilling meat and simple vegetables are usually the staple, but these peppers take “simple” to another level. They are peppery and sweet with a mildly spicy  flavor.

I first had these peppers a year ago and have been dying to recreate them. However, I couldn’t find them anywhere. Until now!  Thank heavens they have finally made their way into mainstream grocery stores.   I buy at least three packages when I see them.  An amazing appetizer for a late summer BBQ or remove the stems and add them to your tacos on taco night.  OOOHH or a steak sandwich.

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Spicy Dipping Sauce

Course Appetizer, Side Dish, Snack
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

For the peppers:

  • 1-2 pints Shishito Peppers
  • 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil or Olive oil
  • Kosher Salt

Spicy Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Franks Red Hot
  • Fresh Cracked pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Wasabi powder (optional) more or less to taste. I like it HOT.

Instructions

  1. For the Spicy dipping sauce:


    In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, hot sauce, black pepper and optional wasabi powder. Set aside.

  2. Prepare a large cast iron skillet on high heat. ( you can also grill the peppers on an outdoor gas grill ~ make sure the grill is very hot )

  3. Toss the Shishito Peppers with the oil and salt.  Add them to the hot skillet and spread them around evenly. Don't touch them once you have placed them in the pan. Turn them after a minute or sooner ~ when they have charred and blistered. I tend to turn them twice to get 3 sides of the pepper nice and charred. Remove them from the pan and serve immediately with Spicy Dipping Sauce*.

Chef Kristen O’Brien

I love to eat. You see, I’m Portugese and Italian. Growing up, we were constantly around food. That cultural influence led me to making mudpies in my Grandma’s backyard and running some of the greatest lemonade stands ever. After art school, and a short career as a teacher, not surprisingly I ended up in culinary school. Now I am a professional pastry chef, but also consider myself an artist and a writer—not to mention my full-time job as a beloved wife and proud mother to four children.

I’m fairly social and friendly, but don’t get me going on the best oyster I have ever eaten or the smell of a french baguette, because I will talk your ear off. I love butter, lemons, homemade pasta, steamed littleneck clams and good wine. I love to oil paint, play tennis, hike, and ski and spend time with my husband and kiddos (rumor has it, I’m a great roller skater too).

One of my most favorite things to do is create food in my red Aga oven: “Le Red Oven”. Along the way, I’ve started to document my creations and, well, here we are. Join me as I create healthy, seasonal, whole food for my family, friends and myself. Thanks for reading and welcome! Read More…
