A traditional famous Spanish Tapas pepper usually fried in olive oil and sea salt, it is also known as Pimientos de Padron. It is a celebrated speciality of the town of Padron, so much so that they have an annual festival in its honour.
Peppers are a vital part of the cooking for so many dishes. Best crops will be achieved in a greenhouse, but smaller, later crops can be produced when grown in a sunny sheltered location outdoors. Some dwarf varieties are ideal for growing in pots on the patio.
