A low calorie snack or side packed with flavor.
Shishito peppers are bright green, about the size of a finger and normally have a mild flavor. About one in 10 have some heat. I love this recipe and normally make a double batch to have around the house for a snack. Trader Joe’s usually has shishito peppers in stock in the produce section. Togarashi is a mixture of ground chili peppers and other seasonings and is available at Asian markets or on line. It has a nice flavor kick and is also great sprinkled on rice, sauteed spinach and meats.
