Gildas are a small tapas where several complimentary ingredients are skewered together. Here we have used our peppery Padron peppers, blowtorched until charred, with salty Manchego cheese and vibrant quick pickled tomatoes.

Ingredients
- 12 Padron Peppers
- Drizzle high quality olive oil
- Pinch flaky sea salt
- 6 tomatoes, quartered, seeds scraped out
- 200ml apple cider vinegar
- 30ml tap water
- 25g white sugar
- Pinch salt
- 250g Manchego, cubed
Directions
Make the quick pickled tomatoes: By heating the vinegar, the water, the sugar and salt in a small pan until simmering. Pour over the prepared tomatoes in a jar or bowl and leave to cool completely.
Blowtorch the Padron peppers: After drizzling them with olive oil and sprinkling them generously with flaky sea salt.
Build the gildas: By skewering the peppers, a cube of the cheese, then a few chunks of the pickled tomatoes onto skewers.
