Fresh, fruity, salty and mostly mild, these little Spanish peppers are a perfect quick accompaniment to almost anything.

Ingredients

1/2 pound pimientos de Padrón
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse sea salt, to taste
Type of fire: Direct
Grill heat: high

Directions

1.

Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate. Place peppers in a medium bowl, drizzle in olive oil, and toss to thoroughly coat peppers in oil. Place peppers on grill and cook until blistered all over, 1-3 minutes per side.
