Peperonata

Posted by Alana on

One day I was looking for something to do with some spare bell peppers, and I remembered having peperonata when I was in Italy. It’s a stewed bell pepper dish which often also includes onion, garlic, and tomatoes. All I happened to have on hand was bell peppers and red onion, but it still came out delish.

  • 2 TBSP olive oil

  • 1 red onion, sliced

  • salt to taste

Heat olive oil on medium-low. Stir in bell peppers and onion.

Cover and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Stir in balsamic. Salt to taste.

I like to allow the peperonata to sit for a couple hours so that all the flavors meld. Then use in pasta, serve as a side for grilled meat, use as a sandwich or salad topping, or eat over crusty bread.
