Deeby said:Thanks Don. Now I'm dying to hear from Rita to ask if she pokes a hole in her Shishitos before charring them!
Your supposed to poke a hole in them if you char them whole. And I used to do that. But I didn't like eating around the stem. So I changed my method to cutting off the very stem end before cooking and then of course you didn't need to do anything else.
Shishitos are one of those peppers that taste good raw (at least to me). But char them and oh my gosh!! They become simply unbelievably fabulous when cooked.
