Notes

If you get a very thick texture you can add a little drop of water but remember that with water it loses a little flavor.

A great tip:

Instead of using raw Padron peppers, sauté them in olive oil for 2 minutes at 160°c. In this case, you should add a greater amount of peppers since they lose volume when cooked.
Let them cool and let the oil cool too.
Important: Add the peppers and the used oil COLD.
Try also to replace the balsamic with red wine vinegar.
