Sweet Flames in the Skillet
Slices of bell pepper and onion dance in hot olive oil until their edges char and flavors deepen — each bite offers soft sweetness, a hint of smokiness, and pure comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 kg peppers
- 2 onions, sliced into rings
- Salt
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Peppers and Onions:
Wash the peppers, pierce each one once with a fork, and place them on paper towels to dry. Peel the onions and slice them into rings. - Fry the Peppers:
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the peppers and fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden. Cover the pan with a lid while frying to prevent the oil from splattering. Remove the peppers and place them on a serving platter. - Sauté the Onions:
In the same pan with the hot olive oil, add the onion rings and sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions and place them on top of the peppers. - Season:
Sprinkle salt over the peppers and onions before serving.
Perfect Balance of Texture & Taste
The peppers soften and blister just enough, while the onions caramelize to bring out natural sugars — creating a mouthful that’s both silky and slightly crisp.
