Menu Turistico—a blog written by two Italians with an appetite for great food and photos—has been enticing us with mouthwatering dispatches from across Europe. A recent post about a trip to Galicia featured shots of roasted crabs, prawns, and barnacles, as well as an impressive plate of fried pimientos de padrón, that amazingly simple, salty snack that goes down easily with a cold cerveza. We've got a recipe for these delicious peppers, and La Tienda sells them. —Jayanthi Daniel

While travelling in Spain I found these delicious chilies all around Barcelona served as tapas. Although the recipe doesn’t specify—I would not use table salt as it is too fine, and I like the additional crunch of a good sea salt. The chilies are generally mild and sweet, but every once in a while a jalapeño-hot one slips through. It’s like playing Russian Roulette to see who gets the hot one. Another method of serving the chilies would be to deep-fry them in canola oil, which is faster than the method described in the recipe, until the skins are crinkly and mottled brown here & there. Drain well, then drizzle with a good quality extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt.
