Recipes
Our favorite Pepperonatta6 fully ripe Cubanell peppers
1 large white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
5 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup basil leaves
a pinch of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
sliced black Calamata olives (optional)
a tablespoon capers (optional)
1 loaf of Ciabatta bread from ACME breads
Cut peppers into 1/4-inch cubes. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté peppers, onions and garlic in oil, about 5 minutes or until vegetables are really soft, but not browned.
Stir in cubed tomatoes, basil, (olives and capers), salt and pepper and shut off. Cover and let sit for 2 or 3 minutes.
Cut Ciabatta in thin slices, pour a little olive oil on each slice and put in the toaster oven until… toasted!
Put toast on a platter and put a little of the Pepperonatta on each slice and… VOILA!
Also use the Pepperonatta as a side dish with barbecued meats, use on pasta or simply enjoy by itself
