Fried green chiles are a simple yet sophisticated dish that made its way into European cuisine due to a love for vibrant and rich flavors. Sautéed in olive oil, they develop a light crispness on the outside while retaining juiciness inside. The heat reveals their natural sweetness and spiciness, creating a harmony of taste. In Mediterranean culinary traditions, this simple recipe is often complemented with sea salt that enhances the richness of the pepper. It makes an excellent appetizer for meats, cheeses, or a glass of wine and is also a perfect addition to warm summer evenings.
