Shishito peppers are long, thin green peppers that when charred with lime and salt, make for a delicious appetizer. Don’t be nervous by their similar shape to jalapeño — only a few turn out to be spicy. These Japanese peppers grow easily in Northern California and somehow I’d gone my 29 years without hearing of this delightful, healthy snack until spending time in Davis. It turns out this delightful finger food couldn’t be more simple, or quick, to prepare.
