shishito

1st time cooking with shishito peppers...where have I been?!

On Saturday, I wanted to make skewers and needed another veggie.

When I walked into the market, this packet of shishito was staring at me.

On top of that the price was nice...100 yen!

These peppers were on the small side but easy to use.

The other skewers were tomato with pork belly and ume shiso pork belly rolls.

On Sunday I served this with some grilled lamb.

I still have a little left so will use them for our dinner tonight.

It is a holiday today, Umi no hi (Ocean Day)...5 days until the Olympics and boy! are there all sorts of problems arising.

Have a nice week.

  1. hoo boy, sure wish I could be there for this dinner. I love shishito and ume shiso rolls! That's a great way to grill them, on skewers. So izakaya :)

    Had a bunch of friends who had booked trips to Japan for Olympics and even after. all their trips were canceled. so far, only the 2 who have tickets for November haven't been canceled (yet)!

    1. V, I have heard of sea salt on dark chocolate, but pink himalayan salt also sounds good!

      Take care.

  3. Your peppers look good. And so cheap too! My sisters have been on a shishito kick lately. We've been getting them at the swap meet!

  5. The Missus loves shishito peppers! I also use them to replace padron peppers for Spanish dishes as well.
