Sweet and Sour Peppers

Method

1. Clean the peppers by removing the stem, seeds, and white pith.
2. Slice the peppers into pieces of your desired size.
3. Heat a good drizzle of olive oil in a casserole or pan. Add 2 garlic cloves in their skins. When the oil starts to bubble, add the peppers.
4. Add a pinch of salt.
5. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until the peppers are very soft.
6. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
7. Add sugar (white or brown) and let it melt and almost caramelize.
8. Lower the heat to minimum and add apple cider vinegar.
9. Cook for 5 minutes if you like them with some bite, or 10-15 minutes for very soft peppers.
10. Optionally, add fresh basil at the end.
11. Serve the peppers with their cooking juices. They are even better after resting for a while.
