Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew bell peppers with tomatoes and onions in a frying pan? Very simple! Prepare all the necessary products. Choose meaty, large peppers; with them the dish will turn out especially juicy and tasty. If possible, use peppers of different colors, then the end result will delight you with bright colors and an appetizing appearance. Tomatoes of any variety are suitable, you can even use cherry ones.

Peel the onions and garlic. Rinse all vegetables under running cold water. Cut the peppers in half and remove the core. Cut the peppers into large slices as in the photo.

Pour in half a glass of water, a couple of tablespoons of wine vinegar and salt to taste. At this stage, you can sprinkle the dish with your favorite spices. I used a pinch of ground red paprika, thyme and black pepper. Mix everything carefully. After the water boils, reduce the heat on the stove to low and simmer the peppers under the lid until soft. This usually takes from 40 to 60 minutes. The exact time depends on the peppers themselves and how large they are chopped.
