STEWED PEPPERS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC



Stewed Peppers with Tomatoes, Onions and Garlic image

There are variations of this dish throughout the Mediterranean. The Basque piperade, made with slender, slightly piquant peppers called piments d'espelette and stirred into scrambled eggs along with bayonne ham, has some heat; whereas Italian peperonata is sweet through and through. A North African version, chakchouka, is spiced with fiery harissa and a spice blend made with caraway and coriander, cayenne and garlic, and is usually served with eggs poached right on top of the stew. See the variations below.

GRAMMIE'S TOMATO, PEPPER, & ONION SALAD



GRAMMIE'S TOMATO, PEPPER, & ONION SALAD image

Categories     Tomato     Side     No-Cook

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 1

Tomato Green pepper Onion Vinegar Salt Sugar

Steps:

  • Cut tomatoes in chunks, peppers in strips, onions in thin slices. Add vinegar, salt and sugar to taste. Vinegar can be diluted. Make this and let it sit for juices to mingle, then refrigerate. It's the right balance of sugar and salt that makes the good taste.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The key to a great tomato-pepper-onion salad is using ripe, juicy tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers offer different flavors and heat levels, so feel free to mix and match to create your desired flavor profile. Some good options include bell peppers, jalapeños, and serrano peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different onions: Yellow onions are a classic choice for tomato-pepper-onion salad, but you can also use red onions, white onions, or shallots. Each type of onion has its own unique flavor, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and oregano add a bright, herbaceous flavor to tomato-pepper-onion salad. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Let the salad marinate: Marinating the salad for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can marinate the salad for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Tomato-pepper-onion salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
