Shishito Peppers With Caramelized Onions

A Different Take on Shishito Peppers

Quick to blister with olive oil, salt and lemon in a pan, dramatic displays of Shishito Peppers get a lot of play on Pinterest and Instagram. They’re a favorite at tapas bars in Spain – and a healthy one too. But to further extend their use, you can caramelize onions and add shishito peppers for a contrast of earthy flavors. Grateful to have had a conversation with one of the produce staff at Whole Foods who shared this recipe idea with me, his take on shishitos.

Popular at Spanish Tapas Bars.

Here’s a different take.

1 to 1 ½ packages of Trader Joe’s Shishito Peppers

1 Large Vidalia Onion or 1 Jumbo Onion

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

Shishito Peppers With Caramelized Onions 

Remove the ends and cut into pieces.

Place in a bowl.

Prepare the onion. Quarters.

Then slivers

Toss the onions into a pan with olive oil and salt.

Caramelize the onions low and slow for a half hour until golden browned.

Incorporate the shishitos melding them into the onion, 10 minutes.

Add spices and condiments. Great with rice and grilled protein.
