Recipe Introduction


Serve on crostini, in an antipasta or just eat it as is.


List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 sweet bell peppers preferably 2 each red and yellow, seeded, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper
3 tablespoons bottled capers, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt





Recipe



1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Uncover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are very tender but hold their shape, about 30 minutes.

2. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and hot red pepper and cook until the garlic gives off its aroma, about 1 minute. Stir in the capers, vinegar, and sugar and cook for 1 minute to blend the flavors. Season to taste with salt. Cool completely. (The peperonata can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerated.) Serve at room temperature.
