What do shishito peppers taste like?

Shishito peppers taste like bell peppers. They are crunchy when eaten raw, and softened when cooked. They contain many small jalapeno-like seeds close to the stem. The seeds are completely edible. Shidhitos overall, are mild in terms of spiciness.

I think these peppers would be great in an omelet, topped ontop of tacos (raw or cooked), or soups. They are very versatile.

Do you refrigerate shishito peppers?

Yes, and I highly recommend it in order for them to stay fresher longer. To optimize shelf life, all fresh produce should be refrigerated.

What’s in Blistered Shishito Pepper with lemongrass relish?

That’s a good question. You will need whole food ingredients such as these:

Shishito peppers

Avocado or olive oil

Lemongrass

Red onion

Garlic

Ginger

Soy Sauce

Cilantro

Vinegar

Pure maple syrup or agave.

Simple enough. If you are unable to find fresh lemongrass stalk, feel free to use the paste. Don’t have pure maple syrup? Use agave nectar instead. I would not recommend using honey. Don’t like cilantro? Use parsley.

What to serve with Shishito peppers?

Serve alongside buttery rice, fluffy quinoa, eat them on their own, or as an appetizer.
