Hi Philip. I cooked the peppers with a Spanish friend who is from Galicia where the padron peppers are from, and he cooked them they way his mother does and that is in a whole lot of oil so I actually did mean 3-4 cups (we were cooking a lot of them all at once). I’m quite sure you can cook them in less oil in smaller batches and they should be fine. Shisitos are a nice substitute but lack the nuance of a padron in my opinion. Thanks for stopping by.

Love these peppers and am growing some this year.
Shishito peppers are quite similar.

Surely you mean 3/4 cup oil and not 3-4 cups (3 to 4).

Me too! I loved them in both places – BCN and LAX, or rather Atwater Village. Thanks Robert.

Yes they were yummy! I liked them during our trip to BCN and I liked them just as much when you guys made them. What a great excuse to get friends together..
