This little beauty is very popular in Japan, Shishito Peppers, also known as the Lion pepper, or referred to as the “Wrinkled Old Man”, has a unique appearance and can be prepared many ways to add MILD flavor to your favorite dish.
You can expect mild heat with these peppers, but watch out! Shishitos have a Russian Roulette tendency where only one out of every 10-20 peppers will shockingly surprise you with incredible heat! Their flavors are sweet, citrusy, and slightly smoky when enhanced by grilling or sautéing. For a delicious treat, sauté these in olive oil until they begin to blister, sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy! The Shishito chile is the pinnacle of appetizers and is often a popular starter in restaurants.
