*Shishito Peppers - are small, mild tasting peppers used in Japanese cuisine. Fun fact: about 1 in 20 is spicy! Consider yourself lucky if you get one (it’s nowhere near the heat of a jalapeno, so don’t worry too much). Shishitos have thin walls, which lend well to being blistered. We usually cook them as an appetizer to fend off our roommates while we’re cooking dinner. We never bother to cut them because they’re small enough to eat whole (minus the stem) and are best showcased on their own.
BONUS: My FAVORITE podcast of all time, “Ologies”, had an episode last week about Peppers! This podcast is always hitting the nail on the head, with well researched data, comic relief, and no shame in asking questions. I highly recommend this podcast in general, but also this particular episode! They talk about shishitos and all of the peppers we grow, just as we approach pepper season.
