Hi Leslie, thanks so much for the recipe! As I was reading it I realized that you put that the Padrón pepper is an Italian pepper and I I’m not sure if it’s another pepper that I’m unfamiliar with or if perhaps it’s a Pimiento de Padrón or better known as Pimiento de Herbón, where it is originally from? If it’s a Pimiento de Padrón or Herbón it has a Protected Designation of Origin (POD) or DOP in Europe and it comes from the beautiful region of Galicia, Spain, which I’m from. The only reason I’m pointing it out is because we Gallegos are fiercely proud of these peppers and their rich history and it’s an honor to be able to share this knowledge with others. The joke with these peppers in Galicia is “Pimientos de Padrón, algunos pican y otros no.” As you eat them it’s always a risk because you never know when one is going to be spicy 👍

Such a great surprise!
Also, just checking.. your photo shows cashews but the recipe says almonds - which would you rec more in this recipe? Thanks gal!
Almonds! I just added cashews to the bowl of curry I added the chili crisp too :) I’m not sure cashews would crisp up in quite the same way!
I saw this in my email and assumed that this was published in error, and that this would be the sunday post or something. A nice surprise!
That was my first thought also!
Your posts are always a treat, Leslie, whenever they appear in my emailbox!
