Stewed Sweet Peppers (Peperonata)

This sweet, simple pepper stew is an ideal use for summer's bounty of sweet peppers. It makes a great antipasto atop bruschetta.

The peppers were very sweet and mellow, and then I added the vinegar. Next time I will stop at 2 tablespoons; 4 was way too many.

I'm sure this would be a great dish...

Have one comment which can apply to MANY recipes:

The list of ingredients is incomplete. In this case, 1/2 water is required during the actual preparation of this side, but is NOT on the ingredients list.
