This is an appetizer more than a side really. Look for Shishito Peppers in the veggie section. They usually come in a plastic bag. Heat up some canola oil in a cast iron, frying pan and add the peppers, stems and all. Cook them over a high heat until they start to blister and brown. Remove them from heat and place them in a bowl, toss them with sea salt and maybe a little sesame oil. Serve them with a bit of Ranch dressing for dipping. Really good!
