Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes Including juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish Adds flavor and presentation

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, including the juice, and season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  6. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped basil.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the garlic to prevent bitterness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on low heat, adding water or broth if needed.
