Traditional Italian Peperonata Stew is a vibrant and flavorful dish featuring a medley of bell peppers, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, cooked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), sliced into thin strips
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, chopped or crushed
  • 2 large tomatoes, finely chopped, or 240 g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice the bell peppers. Peel and slice onions. Chop or crush garlic cloves. If using fresh tomatoes, chop them finely.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring, until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute, releasing the aroma.
  4. Add sliced peppers to the pan, stirring to coat in oil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Incorporate chopped tomatoes along with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cover skillet and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring now and then, until vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
  7. Uncover, taste, and adjust seasoning. Add a splash of red wine vinegar if desired. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add other vegetables like zucchini or eggplant.
  • This stew can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Best paired with crusty bread or as a side dish to proteins.
