Shishido Peppers

Shishido Green Chiles at Santa Fe Farmers Market

Yum!  This mild pepper is my favorite.  It is high in vitamin A, vitamin C, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.  They aren’t too spicy either.  These peppers are best pan fried in coconut oil and and shallots.  You can serve them as a snack or side dish.  They’ve been going for about $8/lb but I found a few farmers selling for $5/lb.  They will only be around for another couple months so eat them while you can!
