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.
