TOTAL TIME: 15 MIN
SERVINGS: 4 to 6

Spanish cooks traditionally fry sweet-hot Padrón peppers (available at melissas.com) and toss them with salt. Adding prosciutto and mint makes the peppers extraordinary.

1 tablespoon olive oil
10 ounces Padrón or shishito peppers
5 thin slices of prosciutto (about 2 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 tablespoon chopped mint
Fine sea salt

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the peppers and cook over moderate heat, stirring often, until slightly charred and just softened, about 4 minutes. Add the prosciutto and cook until heated through, about 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and toss with the mint. Season with salt, transfer to a plate and serve.
