Spotlight on shishito peppers

Sweet shishito peppers are here! Find them from Happy Boy Farms 

for a few short weeks. Shishito peppers are often sold green, alongside 

padrons in the summer. Both padrons and shishitos, when green, can be 

sauteed in olive oil with a touch of salt for a snack or appetizer. 

Once matured, both peppers will turn red, but beware of the padrons! 

They pick up a good amount of heat as they grow. While the red shishitos 

look almost identical, they are sugary like a young bell pepper. Try them raw 

in salads, sauteed like their green counterparts, or whole as a snack.
