Vilco,

As delicious as you make this meal sound, what do you call it?!? In any
language?!?

Best,

Peperonata. Kind of "bell-peppered dish", with the "dish" part
implied.

Red wine vinegar (don't know if you get the Forum brand where you are, but
it's a good one), or a squeeze of lemon juice is a nice addition to brighten
up peperonata.

Yessss, I forgot to mention it but I added some red wine vinegar, too. I
usually use the oak aged vinegar from a nearby vinegar maker which produces
normal, oak aged and balsamico tradizionale. It's got a nice roundness which
adds up to the acidity.

Another nice use for bell peppers :

Take red, yellow and green bell peppers.
Clean them and cut them into "ships".
Mix a paste from finely grated parmigiano and olive oil. Season with a little
salt and pepper.
Fill this paste (not too thick) into the "ships". Put a little olive oil on the
parts not
covered by the paste. Bake in the oven until parmigiano is golden brown.
Serve hot or at room temperature as snack or antipasta.

Cheers,

Michael Kuettner
