Peperonata
========== 2018-05-31


Comment: An ideal accompaniment for a day of diet or otherwise with a polenta.
If you have time, grill the peppers on the BBQ to peel and give them even more taste. You can also peel the tomatoes (incise a cross at the top of the tomato, place it in boiling water for a few seconds, then in cold water).

6 red, green, yellow peppers

In a hot skillet with EVOO, sauté the onions with a little salt (no coloring).
After just a few minutes, add the garlic, bay leaf, hot pepper and peppers.
