Ingredients

  • 3 medium green bell peppers
  • 2 small red chili peppers
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 3 green bell peppers into 1/2 inch strips and thinly slice the 2 red chili peppers, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.

  2. 2

    Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the 2 tbsp sugar and 3 tbsp white wine vinegar, stirring to coat the peppers. Season with the 1/2 tsp salt.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and the liquid has thickened into a glossy glaze, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or vinegar if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
