Shisito Peppers

Shisito peppers are usually very mild, though different batches can vary in heat.  They make a quick and easy appetizer.

Shisito peppers
olive oil
sea salt (preferably Maldon)
raw sesame seeds (optional)

Rinse the shisito peppers and shake off all of the excess water and allow to dry a little (or rub with a towel).

The sesame seeds are optional. Just roasted raw sesame seeds have the best flavor, but you can use pre-roasted sesame seeds if that's what you have.  To roast the sesame seeds, heat a small pan, and then dry roast the sesame seeds until they start to brown, stirring frequently so that they roast evenly. Set aside.

Heat a saute pan.  Add a generous glug of olive oil.  Add the peppers when the olive oil is hot.  Saute until the peppers blister and have brown-black spots.  Put peppers in a serving bowl, and stir in a generous sprinkle of sea salt.  Top with sesame seeds if you are using them.
