Poperonata - martha stewart living

1 Cup

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 larges Peppers, preferably 1 each red, yellow, and orange
1 large Spanish onion, peeled
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1 Clove garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
Pinch of sugar
Salt & freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. Stem, seed, and remove ribs from peppers. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips; leave curved ends intact. Cut onion in half length- wise and slice into ¼-inch-thick semicircles.

2. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add pepper strips and sugar and toss for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover pan and turn heat to low.

Cook, stirring occasionally until peppers are very soft, 30 to 35 minutes.

3. Remove cover and raise heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid evaporates and peppers are nicely glazed, about 3 minutes. Add a little water, if necessary, to avoid scorching. Season with salt and pepper. Serve peperonata warm or at room temperature.
