Quick Tip

Yellow, red, and green bell peppers
Peperonata, made with sautéed peppers and olive oil (and sometimes onions, garlic, and tomatoes as well), is a classic Mediterranean condiment. Cook a double batch and try it on crostini, layered in sandwiches, or as topping for steak, chicken, or fish.
