PRESENTATION
With bell peppers you can make countless recipes and today we want to show you how to prepare an easy and quick side dish. Sautéed bell peppers are truly delicious, soft, yet fleshy and super tasty... similar to peperonata, but without tomato! Making them is very simple, you just have to cut them into strips and sauté them in a pan with onion and basil! For a colorful dish we recommend using mixed bell peppers, green, yellow, and red, but you can also opt for just one of these if you don't have them all available. Sautéed bell peppers are perfect to accompany many main courses, but also great for enriching bruschettas and sandwiches! Enjoy them in their season, they will give you a unique sweetness and taste!
