Ingredients

  • 5 assorted bell peppers
  • 8 plum tomatoes, cored
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced

  2. Cook garlic in olive oil in a pot over medium heat until beginning to brown, 3 minutes. Add the roasted peppers, tomatoes, and any collected juices, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until saucy, 15 minutes.
