Blistered Shishito Peppers with Browned Butter, Lemon and Parmesan

Usually, these are made with soy sauce and bonito flakes. This recipe for Blistered Shishito Peppers with Browned Butter, Lemon and Parmesan is a completely different way of serving them. About one out of every ten peppers is spicy. The person that gets the spicy one will have good luck!

Butter Braised Spring Onions

These Butter Braised Spring Onions tender, fragrant and sweet. You can also grill them. Spring onions resemble scallions in appearance and flavor, but with a bulb at the bottom, instead of completely straight. Still mild in flavor, spring onions have just a touch more spiciness to them when eaten raw.
