Italian-Style Green Peppers ingredients
Makes 4 servings
4 large green peppers
3 Tbsp olive or salad oil
1/4 cup boiling water
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive or salad oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups canned tomatoes
2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
Notes: Substituted 1 (14.5-oz) can Hunt's Diced Tomatoes with Rosemary & Oregano.
Using today's standards for 'large' bell pepper, it's easier to sauté them in a 3.5-quart covered pan. Watch pans because it took less than 20 minutes for the peppers to become tender (7/2/2012).
Cut green peppers into 1-1/2-inch strips; then halve each strip crosswise.
Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in large skillet; add peppers. Sauté 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Add boiling water, 1 tsp salt; simmer, covered, 20 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, in 1 Tbsp olive oil in saucepan, sauté onion and garlic until golden.
Add tomatoes, then sugar, pepper, basil. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, or until thickened. Put drained peppers in serving dish; pour on sauce.
