Fried Peppers - A Simple Delight
A quick and simple side dish, perfect for pairing with meat or fish.
Fried peppers are a perfect example of how simplicity and respect for ingredients can create a deeply satisfying side dish. Their subtle sweetness and the touch of garlic make each bite a refined balance, ideal for accompanying meat or fish without ever overpowering it. The pan's direct heat preserves the crispy texture of the ingredients, making this dish practical and authentic.
Instructions

To prepare the fried peppers, first wash the peppers thoroughly under running water, leaving them whole with the stem intact, and dry them with a paper towel. In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and sauté the garlic cloves for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, then add the peppers.

Quickly sauté the peppers over high heat, turning them frequently, then lower the heat, add water, and cover with a lid. Cook the peppers for about 10 minutes until they are wilted.
