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

Ingredients

  • 13 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 assorted red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/4" strips
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 12 medium white onion, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar

Instructions
