A couple of weeks ago we went out for a nice meal at a certain supertrendy Baltimore restaurant and one of the vegan items they offered to make us was a shishito peppers appetizer, so naturally I took them up on that. But I was disappointed when they arrived as just the basic salted version and for upwards of $10 for the lot. I resolved to find some more creative ways to cook and season shishitos this summer. Today it begins with everything bagel shishito peppers.
I adore shishito peppers. I don’t remember when I first tried them exactly, but a plate full of piping hot, charred peppers with flaky sea salt and little else… just tastes like summer to me. So it’s not like I disliked the dish we tried that day. I just expected more out of an eatery known for creating magical dishes from local produce. I’m not saying my everything shishitos belong on their menu, but maybe they could take a page out of this book and season them with something more creative than only salt!
