Instead of Padron pepper
Green bell pepperUse the same weight, deseed and cut into strips; milder and softer, so cook 2–3 minutes longer.
Mild green chilliUse 30–40% of the weight, deseed for mildness; much hotter, so taste as you go.
Jalapeño chilliUse 40–50% of the weight, sliced; more heat and firmer flesh.
