2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
1 teaspoon Grated lemon peel
¼ teaspoon Minced fresh garlic
⅓ cup Olive oil
2 Onions; thinly sliced
2 Green bell peppers
2 Red bell peppers

Directions

Combine the parsley, lemon peel and garlic and set aside for later as a garnish for the lamb chops.

In a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add onions and cook gently until golden and brown (be sure not to burn them). Add peppers and continue to cook for about 10 minutes or until tender, but still with some crispness left. Season with salt and pepper.
