Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the blistered shishito peppers immediately while they are still hot, with the cool Green Goddess dressing alongside for dipping. They work particularly well as an Appetizer or Snack and can also accompany dishes from the Barbecue collection.Variations
For a sharper dressing, add a little extra fresh lemon juice. You can also adjust the proportions of basil, parsley, tarragon, and chives according to the herbs you have available. The same Green Goddess dressing works well with other recipes from the Vegetables collection.Storage and Reheating
The peppers are best served immediately because their blistered exterior softens during storage. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and reheat briefly in the Airfryer. Store the Green Goddess dressing separately in the refrigerator and serve it chilled.Wine Advice
A fresh Sauvignon Blanc is a good match for the green flavours of the shishito peppers, fresh herbs, and lemon. Its acidity also provides a pleasant contrast to the creamy mayonnaise-based dressing. Explore suitable wines at René’s Wijnbeleving.Nutrition values
