Instructions
- Saute the peppers in extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 7-10 minutes). Add the garlic into the pan and continue to cook with the peppers until the cloves turn golden (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the cherry peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the cherry tomatoes. Cook until they soften and release their water (about 20-25 minutes).
- Once all the flavors are well combined and the sauce has thickened add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and add the basil.
- If needed add a bit more of your best extra virgin olive oil. Serve with crusty Italian bread as a spread. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cherry peppers are around the heat level of a jalapeno pepper. You can use more or less to suit your taste preference.
- Makes 4 large appetizer servings to be served with crusty bread. The spread can also be served as a condiment.
- Leftovers can be saved in the fridge for up to 5 days.
