Ingredients

• 3 large red bell peppers
• 2 large yellow bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut them into thin strips, discarding the seeds and cores.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic. Dice the onion into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the oil.

Step 6

Cook the peppers for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the whisked eggs over the peppers in the skillet, stirring gently to combine.

Step 9

Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley, red chili flakes, and additional black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Serve the Peperonta warm, either on its own or with crusty bread.
