Vegeterian

Ingredients

Sweet peppers - 6 large

Sweet Onions - 3 large

Olive oil - 6 tbsps

Ripe tomatoes - 1 pound

Salt 

Basil, finely chopped - 2-3 sprigs

Slice the onions very thinly. Heat the oil in a pan and soften the onions over a very low heat. Peel and chop the tomatoes, discarding seeds. Stir them into the onions, season to taste with salt and cook over a brisk heat for 15 minutes.

Wash the peppers, cut each one in half and scoop out the core and seeds. Cut them into strips about 1 inch wide and add them to the tomato sauce. Check seasoning, add the basil, stir well and cover. Cook over a low heat for 30 minutes or until the peppers are soft.
