Ingredients
- Orange Bell Peppers 20 oz
- Tomatoes 10 oz
- Spanish onions 10 oz
- Olive Oil 6 tablespoons
- Rosé Dry Wine ¾ cup
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Brown Sugar 1 tablespoon
- Oregano ½ teaspoon
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the bell pepper pods (equal parts red, green, orange, and yellow) in an oven preheated to 480°F. Wait until the skin becomes very dark and charred in places, then remove from the oven and wrap in damp paper towels for a few minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, then place them under cold water for 1 minute. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and chop finely.
Step 3
Peel the cooled peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and slice them into thin strips.
Step 4
Slice the onion into wedges (quarters or eighths) and sauté over high heat with oil until soft. Then add the tomatoes, and after three minutes, add the peppers and oregano. Bring to a boil and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Then reduce the heat, cover, and continue to simmer. After 8-10 minutes, pour in the wine and simmer, stirring, until done.
Step 5
Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, add sugar, mix, and let it sit. (Peperonata tastes best the next day.)
Step 6
Serve both hot and cold, drizzled with olive oil.
