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.

What’s more, his son comes across as at times monosyllabic, somewhat childish and Tik Tok addled – but that seems real.   They did not eat well…and this is Spain. That’s the bad. What’s good is that McCarthy’s passion for travel shines through. His interest in the storied history of the location is genuine. He’s good at describing it. He’s good at ...
