Shishito Pepper
Shishito Pepper is a Japanese culinary treasure — the small, wrinkled green peppers are mild, slightly smoky, and deeply flavorful when blistered in a screaming-hot cast iron pan with a little oil and sea salt, creating the restaurant-favorite appetizer that turns pepper skeptics into devoted fans in a single bite. About one in ten peppers carries an unexpected punch of heat, which transforms the simple act of eating a bowl of shishitos into a delightfully unpredictable and convivial dining experience.
