STEWED PEPPERS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC
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.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or heavy casserole over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic and peppers. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper, bring to a simmer, and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat, about 10 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for another 15 to 20 minutes (or longer), stirring from time to time, until the mixture is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve as a side dish, as a topping for pizza, pasta, polenta, rice, or bruschetta, as a filling for an omelet, or stir into scrambled eggs.

[email protected]The recipe was easy to follow, but the stewing process took longer than expected. I ended up having to cook the peppers for an extra 30 minutes.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of tomatoes next time.
