- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow or orange, green not recommended.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 small red onion, sliced into crescents
- 1 garlic clove, minced (my addition, can omit)
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
directions
- Remove stems from peppers. Halve the bell peppers crosswise then cut into 1/2" strips.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add bell peppers and sauté for about 2-3 minutes. Then add the red onion crescents (and garlic if using) and sauté another 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
- You want the bell peppers to be slightly softened but still firm. Does that make sense?.
- Season with salt and pepper and transfer to serving platter. Great as a side dish or served over pasta or rice.

A perfect use for all these colorful peppers at the farmer's markets! I used yellow, orange and red peppers. I added a little more minced garlic, but otherwise followed the recipe. I agree that you definitely don't want these too soft. This is a nice side for grilled meats or just with other veggies. Thanx for sharing!

This is exactly the way I like my veggies--neither overcooked nor over sauced. I used one each of red, orange, and yellow peppers, and a bit of extra garlic, some kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. The only thing I did differently is that I added the onion with the peppers as that is almost the only veggie I liked well cooked.
