About Padrón peppers
Small whole green peppers, fried and finished with salt. A Galician tapa also found on bar menus in Valencia.
What to expect
Padrón peppers are cooked whole and served with lightly blistered skins and salt. Originally associated with Galicia, they are now a familiar tapa in many parts of Spain. Their heat varies, and appearance alone does not reliably tell you which pepper will be hot.
Ordering tips
They add a vegetable plate to a table of meat or seafood tapas. Ask whether the kitchen adds sauces or other ingredients. If you need to avoid chilli heat entirely, choose another vegetable: a whole portion cannot be guaranteed mild.
