Turkey Skewers with Peach & Pimientos de Padron

Pimientos de Padrón are small green peppers grown in Galicia/Spain. The small, sharp vitamin bombs grow in the vicinity of the small village Padrón. They are cooked and eaten as a whole. You can simply fry them as an appetizer in olive oil and serve sprinkled with coarse sea salt. Or place them effectively on grill skewers…

Here you can read the captain’s shore leave recommendation: “Three walks in Madeira”
