Background
Peperonata is a classic Italian dish of stewed sweet peppers, onions and tomatoes. It's absolutely fantastic because it's yummy, healthy, easy to make and so versatile - it can be used as pasta sauce; pizza or bruschetta topping; filling in a sandwich or burger; etc etc! It could be served with fried egg for brunch or as a side-dish with a Sunday roast and with grilled/barbecued meat and so on. The classic recipe is made with raw, ripe chopped tomatoes - this version uses passata.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 500 ml passata
- 2 Tbsp black olives (optional)
- small handful of basil leaves
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion and the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a pan and soften the onion (for about 5 minutes).
- Meanwhile, slice the peppers into 1cm thick strips, then add these to the onion together with the garlic.
- Simmer under cover for 5 minutes, then add the vinegar and the passata. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Stir in the olives and basil leaves. Serve warm.
