Peperonata

Peperonata

Posted 2013-02-04 by Sandra Lawsonfollow
The first time I ate peperonata was in an Italian home. I’d never come across it before and decided to have a go myself. After all it is really only ratatouille without the courgettes and aubergines, two vegetables that I love, and my husband won’t eat, unless under sufferance. It takes about fifteen minutes to prepare and another thirty to cook.



Ingredients

A generous glug of extra virgin olive oil, or garlic oil
A couple of cloves of minced garlic if not using garlic oil
2 medium onions, sliced
2 peppers, red, orange or yellow, but not green, sliced
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 390g tin chopped tomatoes with their juice
Salt and pepper to taste

  • Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan and add the onions.

  • Cook and stir intermittently for about ten minutes until soft and just starting to colour.

  • Add the peppers and cook for another five minutes, then add the garlic (if using) and cook for another couple of minutes.

  • Stir in the tomato purée and then add the tinned tomatoes.

  • Season to taste, pop a lid on the pan and leave to simmer on a low heat for about 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the tomato juices have thickened.

  • Adjust the seasoning before serving.



  • This also works well served cold, or can be reheated and served with pasta.
