Charred Shishito Peppers

Charred Shishito Peppers are perfect for a quick and easy grilled appetizer. With just the right kick of spice, this summer special goes with any flavour profile ranging from ginger soy sauce to beer cheese dip. To really kick it up a notch, wrap the peppers in prosciutto, grill and drizzle with Sriracha Lime Honey sauce. The prosciutto’s saltiness melds perfectly with the sweetness of honey and tang of the peppers.

280 g. shishito peppers
12 slices prosciutto
¼ cup honey
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon sriracha
