My Sicilian Ex-Mother-in-Law's Peperonata
This recipe—my Sicilian ex-mother-in-law's peperonato—is Camilla's version of a Sicilian contorno (meatless side dish) made with bell peppers, onion, garlic, and fresh herbs. Peperonato is usually made in large quantities, so there will be leftovers to toss with either pasta or rice the next day. You can make it either in the oven or on the stovetop. This stovetop version is even better the next day!
