Nerdy dirty hippie, turned midwestern academic, turned quasi hipster, turned aspiring dot-commer. Who like clothes.
I purchased some Padron peppers at the Farmer’s Market this weekend. Padron peppers are the ones used in pimientos de padron the delicious tapas dish where one out of every ten peppers are spicy. Since I’d spent $3 on the peppers, I decided to make an entire tapas dinner out of it. What’s listed below is — not surprisingly — way too much food for two. But it was delicious.
Patatas bravas (potatoes in spicy tomato sauce)
Pimientos de padron
Chicken cutlet with lemon garlic aioli
Melon wrapped in prosciutto
Spinach and garbonzo beans with lots of garlic
Fresh bread
YUM! Lots of leftovers. Hopefully they won’t go bad in the fridge.
