Pepperonata
A community recipe by Mandy_CNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
This is one of my all-time favourite side dishes. In fact, I love it so much that I will happily eat a big bowlful of it on its own, with just some crusty bread and butter, or tossed through pasta. It works equally well hot or cold, so is a perfect recipe for those lazy summer lunches with friends and family, or for picnics. I think it is best somewhere between room temperature and hot out of the pan, so it's perfect for making ahead. I love it with lamb, chicken, fish, halloumi, or as a relish on burgers.. the list is endless!

Additional Information
I sometimes add a slosh of balsamic vinegar after the garlic and spices, before adding the pepper - it adds another layer of flavour that is quite interesting.
