\nNikon D90, 28-105mm\n<\/p>\n

I'm growing shishito peppers this year, in planters on our front porch. <\/p>\n

We first had these last spring on our trip<\/a> to Miami Beach, served as appetizers at the hotel bar. And I've been waiting ever since to grow some of these myself. <\/p>\n

They're chili peppers. They're smaller and not quite as fleshy as a jalapeno, but they're completely heat-free*<\/sup>: no hotter than a bell pepper. So, you can just eat them, seeds too, one after another. Pluck em off the plant, pierce with a knife, throw into a hot frying pan with a touch of oil, cook for a couple minutes until they're just soft and starting to brown, then sprinkle with kosher salt: instant snack. Their stems make nice handles.<\/p>\n
