Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil good quality
  • 3 sweet pepper preferably long Italian peppers, but bell peppers will work
  • 2 cloves garlic (fresh)
  • 3 tomato fresh, ripe (or 225 g of good quality, canned, peeled plum tomatoes from Italy
  • ½ tsp salt more as needed
  • pinch black pepper (freshly ground - optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour the oil into a large sauté pan over medium high heat.
  2. Add the strips of peppers and turn frequently so they don't burn. Add more oil as needed.
  3. When the peppers are almost cooked (soft, but not mushy), move them to one side of the pan. (Alternatively, you can remove the peppers and cook the tomatoes in the same pan.)
  4. Add the garlic and cut tomatoes to the other side of the pan (adding more oil if needed.) Add salt to the peppers and tomatoes.
  5. Cook and stir the tomatoes for a few minutes until a sauce forms. Taste the peppers and tomatoes for salt. If desired, add some grated black pepper to the tomatoes, too.
  6. Remove the peppers from the pan and place on a serving dish. When the tomato sauce is ready, place on the same dish alongside the peppers or in a separate bowl to be served with the peppers.
  7. Serve with lots of crusty bread.

Notes

  • A mixture of colors of peppers is nice, but be sure to include red as they are the sweetest.
