Peppers

I just love peppers!  In any form....  Roasted, raw, cooked, yellow, red, orange - bring it on!  And they're so good for you.

This side dish is a great accompaniment to fish or chicken. 



Ingredients:
- bell peppers - any colour of red, yellow, orange
- sweet onion (such as Vidalia)
- bread crumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- olive oil

Chop up any combination of peppers (red, yellow, or orange) into 1 inch chunks.
Chop the onion into 1/2 pieces.

Saute the onion over medium heat in 1 to 2 tsps olive oil until soft.  Remove from pan.
Add 1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil to the pan.  Add minced garlic to the pan and saute approx 1-2 minutes.  Do not let the garlic burn!  Add the peppers and saute over medium heat for approx. 5 minutes or so.  Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until soft, approximately 20 minutes or so.



Reduce the heat to low and add the onions back in.  You could add a little balsamic here if you like.

Add approx. 1/3 to 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs to the mixture.  Lightly mix and transfer to a serving dish.

Sorry for my "approximations" in this recipe.  I tend not to measure, I just add what I think is needed!
