Ingredients
5
tablespoon(s) olive oil (good quality)
1
large onion(s) (thinly sliced)
1
clove(s) garlic (thinly sliced)
1
pinch of saffron
1
pinch of dried chilli flakes
1
red peppers (de-seeded and sliced into strips)
1
yellow pepper (de-seeded and sliced into strips)
1 pinch of sugar
½ cup of white vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
Heat 5 tbsp of the olive oil in a wide, shallow pan.
Add the onion and fry gently for a few minutes, until it is soft and transculent.
You don't want to color the onion.
Add the sliced garlic, chilli flakes and saffron and
fry for 1 minute. Add the sliced peppers to the pan, and stir everything
together until it is well mixed. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are just
starting to soften.
Add the pinch of sugar, and the
remaining tbsp of olive oil. Cover, and cook over a gentle heat for a half an
hour, taking the lid off for the last 10 minutes or so to allow the juices to
thicken.
