Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 bell peppers ((red, yellow and green))
1.5 lb heirloom tomatoes (- mixed colors)
1 purple onion ( (small))
1/2 leek ((optional))
2 cloves garlic (- minced)
1 pinch red pepper flakes ((or to taste))
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (+ more as needed)
1/3 cup fresh herbs ((basil, chives + oregano))
1 tsp sea salt (+ more to taste)
1 lemon

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.
