Green Peppers in Tomato Sauce

Method

1. Rinse the green peppers thoroughly.
2. Clean the peppers: for small ones, remove only the stem; for larger ones, cut off the entire top and remove the seeds.
3. In a pan, pour seed oil and bring it to a boil.
4. Fry the peppers in the boiling oil, cover them, and stir occasionally over medium heat. Cook until soft.
5. Remove the peppers and place them on paper towels to drain.
6. Discard the seed oil. In the same pan, make a soffritto with extra virgin olive oil and garlic.
7. Add a jar of cherry tomatoes and cook for a few minutes.
8. Add the fried peppers and let them absorb the flavors.
9. Crush some cherry tomatoes to release the sauce and let everything bind together.
10. Season with salt.
11. Add chopped basil (feel free to be generous) and let it infuse for another minute.
12. Once everything is well combined and creamy, the dish is ready. Serve hot or cold.
