Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces shishito peppers
  • 2 ounces goat cheese crumbles
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • coarse sea salt for serving
  • olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. Prepare the oven by placing an oven rack on the second to highest rung and turn the oven to broil (high broil if your oven has a high and low setting). While the oven heats, prepare the peppers and dipping sauce.
  2. Prep the Peppers: Rinse the peppers and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Lay the peppers out in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  4. Lightly spray the peppers with olive oil and set aside while you make the dipping sauce.
  5. For the Sauce: Place the goat cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of milk in the food processor.
  6. Processor everything for 10-15 seconds until combined.
  7. Scrape down the sides and continue to process in 10-15 second increments until the cilantro lightly specs the sauce.
  8. If you need the sauce to be a bit thinner, add the 3rd tablespoon of milk and process again for 10-15 seconds.
  9. Cooke the Peppers: Once the sauce is made, place the peppers in the oven on the 2nd highest rack near the broiler and broil on high for 3-5 minutes.
  10. As you begin to broil the peppers, you may hear popping, and that's okay.
  11. After 3 minutes, lightly shake the pan, moving the peppers around the pan then close the oven door and cook another 30 seconds. Continue to shake the pan every 30-60 seconds until the peppers have blistered.
  12. Once cooked, remove the peppers from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
  13. Serve immediately with dipping sauce on the side.
