Peperonata Peppers Tomatoes Onions Food

STEWED PEPPERS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC

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.

TRADITIONAL PEPERONATA RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the leek in half lengthwise and reserve half for later. Slice up the other half and rinse it well in a bowl of cold water. Scoop the leeks out of the water and dry them well on a tea towel.
• Warm up a large skillet on medium low flame. Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the leeks with a pinch of sea salt. Saute for about 10 minutes until they start to get some color. Add the re pepper flakes.
• Rinse and cut the bell peppers into 1 inch pieces. Add them to the skillet with the leeks and give everything a good stir.
• Slice the red onion into 1 inch pieces as well and add it to the skillet. Stir well and cook everything together for about 10 minutes until the peppers start to soften and get some color.
• Meanwhile wash and cut the tomatoes into wedges or similar size pieces with the peppers.
• Add the minced garlic to the pan and give everything a good stir. Cook 30 seconds then add the tomatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and cover with a lid. Cook another 5 minutes or so until the tomatoes burst and release their juices.
• Squeeze the juice from half a lemon to the Peperonata, taste and adjust seasonings with more sea salt and lemon juice.
• Remove from heat and finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive and sprinkle with the fresh basil, chives and oregano.
• Serve with crusty bread, creamy polenta, toss with your favorite short pasta or cous cous.

PAN GRILLED CHICKEN IN PEPERONATA

Steps:

• In a large hot pan, saute smashed garlic and chili pepper in 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add chopped peppers and onions and saute for 10 minutes on high heat. Now add tomatoes and their juices, salt, pepper and sugar, cover with lid and cook for 20 minutes on medium heat. For chicken, drizzle chicken breasts in olive oil and sprinkle with smoked sea salt ( I use smoked Fleur de sel ), black pepper and some dry oregano. Place in a very hot grill pan and cook for 2 minutes per side. Once chicken is grilled, add the breasts into the peperonata, cover with lid and place into a pre heated 350*F oven for 20 minutes. As a finishing touch, I remove the lid and set under the broiler for 5 minutes to give a nice caramelized coating to the chicken and sauce. I like to plate the chicken and peperonata over a slice of Italian bread that has been rubbed with garlic and olive oil and toasted until golden brown.

PEPERONATA

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
• Reduce the heat, and add the onion and garlic. Cook over very low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened but still pale.
• Meanwhile, cut the peppers in half lengthwise, removing the stem, seeds and internal filaments. Cut into strips and add to the pan. Mix well.
• Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While the peppers are cooking, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and plunge into ice water, then peel, seed and dice.
• Add the diced tomatoes to the peppers along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well, cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Stir regularly to ensure the peppers don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Cooking will be complete when the mixture tends to consolidate on the wooden spoon.
• At the end of cooking, increase the heat if necessary to reduce the liquid.
• Adjust the seasoning and add basil and oregano.
• Enjoy hot, warm, or cold.
