- 50g blended oil
- 6g kosher salt
sourcing
PROCEDURE
- Put the stemmed shishitos in a bowl.
- Toss with blended oil & kosher salt to coat.
- Char on a clean plancha, over high heat.
- Flip shishitos so that both sides char.
- The shishitos will char but not cook through entirely, they will retain their shape and some color.
- Transfer to a bowl to cool enough to be handled.
- Split each shishito in half lengthwise.
- Remove the majority of the seeds, but this doesn't have to be perfect. There is a cluster of seeds in each pepper that should be removed (so a guest doesn't get a mouthful of seeds) but some seeds is OK.
- Rough chop the seeded peppers.
CRITICAL CONTROL POINT
- CHAR the peppers but do not cook to mush.
- Most of the seeds should be scraped out -- but there is no need to eliminate every seed.
