The Spaniards are onto something. This is a nice, tasty way to consume mass quantities of nutritious pods.
As an afterthought, sweet onion slices (not pictured) were dropped into the oil . . . which to my pleasant surprise picked up and passed on some gentle heat from the padróns and the black Hungarian that joined them. The dark, sweet, sea-salty, slightly-hot onions . . . well, none are left if that tells you anything.
The rice—cooked in beef stock, onion, turmeric, and some Jamaican hot chocolate powder—was inspired by an Indian food thread that flung a cravin' on me.
Pretty decent way to eat out of the backyard, all told.
