Easy-To-Make Italian-Style Pepperonata

Full of Delicious Vegetables, This is a Snap to Pull Together

italian style pepperonata

This old school recipe has been in my family for ages because in the autumn there are always a couple of vegetables that hang around in abundance. It's a super easy preparation that you can throw together in about 10 minutes flat. A great combo of sweet peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and onions, this mixture is great in a sandwich or served over rice, scrambled eggs, or pasta. I can a dozen jars or so every fall and pull it out for company throughout the year.

Ingredients:

1 med-large zucchini
1 med eggplant
2 medium onions
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 tomato
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp hot chili flakes
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
 
Directions:
 
 Roughly chop all vegetables.
 
 Heat oil in a large frying pan.
 
 Add all vegetables, salt and pepper, garlic, and chili, and heat to a low simmer.
 
 Cook for 1 hour, until vegetables are soft and combined.
 
 Cool and serve at room temperature.
 
It keeps in the refrigerator for about one week.
