Notes
Peperonata is a versatile dish. In preparing as well as in serving. You may add an whole clove of garlic when frying the onion. And take it out later. Other acceptable extra ingredients are capers and raisins.Instead of using castor sugar, try some honey. Though still vegetarian, it excludes our vegan friends from enjoying this dish.Serve peperonata as a side dish. Or as a salad with bread. Or on a bruschetta. You may even serve it with pasta. Let the leading role to the bell pepper though.Raw pepper is hard to digest. So make sure it is fully cooked. Remove the seeds and white parts thoroughly. Some go so far as to peel the peppers. Add another odd twenty minutes is you please to do so.
