Tangy, complex balsamic vinegar and a touch of salt turn olive oil and sautéed peppers into a great side dish for a hearty entrée like Sirloin Croquettes.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into 1/2 –inch slices
  • 1 large orange or yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into 1/2 –inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Preparation:

In a large skillet, stir together the olive oil and peppers over medium heat. Saute the pepper for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender but still firm. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, pepper, and salt; cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the peppers and sauce to a dish and serve hot.
