Grilled Shishito Peppers

Shishito Peppers are in my top 5 favorite foods. Once grilled the peppers have a mild, unique flavor. They usually aren't spicy tasting so even if you don't like peppers, I bet you'd like these. Just be somewhat cautious, they say 1 in 10 is incredibly spicy. Any time these are on a menu I order them and I've never gotten a spicy one but the possibility makes them really fun to eat. They are incredibly easy to prepare and currently in season at your local farmers market. You can also find them at Asian markets.

Method:

1. In a bowl, toss peppers in sesame oil and a pinch of salt.

3. Heat grill (or cast iron) to high. Cook peppers about 4 minutes per side, until browned or blistered. 

4. Allow to cool a bit. Eat everything but the stem. 

Please tell me how you cook your Shishito's, I'm always looking for a new way to cook these up.
