Peperonata

Side Serves 4 40 min

A simple, vivid and versatile veggie dish. Serve grilled on toast with a little cheese; beside a steak (lamb or beef) or pork sausages; stirred through pasta, or on top of a bed of polenta. This will keep well in the fridge for a day or two – longer if kept in a jar and sealed with olive oil.
