Tip of the Week:

You have received the first padron peppers of the season, and it is the earliest in the season I have ever had them!  Padron peppers or pimientos de padron are a Spanish pepper that is traditionally served as a tapas or appetizer.  They are easy to prepare and fun to eat.  Just saute them whole in olive oil and then salt.  They say 1 in 10 are hot.  The other 9 are not hot and have a great flavor.  To be on the safe side, I always take a small bite off the end to make sure it isn’t a hot one!
