Brian’s Pepper Dish

A few years ago, while traveling the country, we visited Mr. H&Q’s cousin in Texas.  One evening, her son, who lives in the same town, graced us with a visit and some remarkable dishes he cooked. 

One of those dishes was for peppers, bell peppers.  Now, mind you, I cook with peppers all the time, but I had not served them solely as a side dish.  They were mixed with other veggies and added to countless dishes.  Brian’s recipe was so darn good that our SIL and I looked at each other and asked him to tell us how he cooked them.

I took notes and, much later, tried replicating his recipe.  It seemed spot-on, and I plan to incorporate this recipe into next week’s menu.

It’s an easy recipe, with a few ingredients.  Naturally, bell peppers, preferably yellow, orange, and red over green, red onion, red wine vinegar, and seasoning.  That’s it, and yet, this dish is so incredibly delicious.

Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers cooked together with red or purple onion make a wonderful side dish. A hint of red wine vinegar adds sharpness, while basil chiffonade adds freshness to this dish.
